Arsenal Transfers: 5 Players Likely To Leave In August

5. Wojciech Szcz™sny

Wojciech Szcz™sny The Arsenal No.1 endured a difficult season last term. The Polish shot-stopper found himself benched for key games - such as the second leg Champions League clash with Bayern Munich - while he also lost his spot to reserve keeper and compatriot ukasz Fabia„ski. And the latter came close to making our list, though we will hold our judgement for now given the Pole impressed in the four league games he played last season, which coincided with Arsenal going on a 9-match undefeated streak. Szcz™sny on the other hand has had his chance. Few can ever forget that agonising mix-up with defender Laurent Koscielny as Birmingham pounced to clinch League Cup glory in 2011. Shipping eight goals at Old Trafford is also unlikely to form part of his career highlights. The keeper has struggled with his kicking at times, while he is also guilty of rash decision-making and losing his head. Szcz™sny has become increasingly unreliable in recent times and it's time for a change, and with Arsenal looking for a new goalkeeper this summer, it wouldn't come as a surprise if we saw the back of the Polish national.
