Arsenal release 10 players after missing out on the Premier League title... but Mikel Arteta is continuing negotiations with one young star

Arsenal will release 10 players at the end of the month when their contracts expire, including one who made 132 appearances for the first team.

The Gunners released a statement on Friday morning to confirm which players will be leaving the club when their deals officially end.

Among those is Ainsley Maitland-Niles, who has spent the last four seasons on loan at different clubs.

The 25-year-old, a product of Arsenal's academy, has had spells with Ipswich, Roma, West Brom and most recently Southampton.

Maitland-Niles made his debut for the north London club at the age of 17 in 2014 and would go on to become an established squad player between 2017 and 2022.
