Four players who could play their final Arsenal league match against Crystal Palace
The Premier League season is drawing to a close, and for some players, their time at Arsenal could be coming to an end. The Gunners will face Crystal Palace in their final league match, and it's a chance for some players to make their mark before potentially moving on. Here are four players who could be playing their last league match for the club.
Gabriel Jesus
Gabriel Jesus has been a key player for Arsenal, but his future at the club is uncertain. With Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz ahead of him in the pecking order, Jesus may seek new challenges elsewhere. The Brazilian signed a five-year deal when he joined from Manchester City in 2022, but there's been no progress on an extension. His contract will expire in 2027, and with his current status as one of the highest-paid players, Arsenal may look to sell him for a fee. Jesus didn't feature in their latest win against Burnley, but he was on the bench and could still play against Palace.
Leandro Trossard
Leandro Trossard has been a crucial player for Arsenal, scoring important goals. However, his contract is also up in 2027, and he could find himself in a similar situation to Jesus. Arsenal showed faith in Trossard by increasing his wages at the start of the season, but a suitable offer in the summer could see them cash in. The Belgian has previously dismissed rumors of his departure, but with the arrival of Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke, speculation continues.
Myles Lewis-Skelly
Myles Lewis-Skelly has struggled for game time at Arsenal this season, starting just four league matches. The 19-year-old had a stellar 2025, making his England debut, but with the signing of Cristhian Mosquera and Piero Hincapie, his minutes have been reduced. The Palace match could be his final league outing for the club. If sold, any fee generated would be a profit, and might be reinvested elsewhere. The BBC has reported that Lewis-Skelly and fellow academy star Ethan Nwaneri could be sold for a combined £100m.
Gabriel Martinelli
Gabriel Martinelli is a loyal servant to Arsenal, but his future is uncertain. With the club looking to bring in another world-class winger, Martinelli's pace off the bench has been key to their success. His contract will end in 2027 unless extended by a year. He is expected to play at Selhurst Park, but if a move materializes in the summer, he might head elsewhere. Rumors link him with the Saudi Pro League, PSG, and Bayern Munich, with any sale potentially funding a blockbuster attacking arrival.
In my opinion, these players have all contributed significantly to Arsenal's success, but with the club's ambitions for the future, it's understandable that some changes may be made. The final league match against Crystal Palace could be a fitting send-off for these players, but it's also a chance for the club to look ahead and build for the future.
