JAKARTA - Arsenal are currently aggressively pursuing their coveted player. Several names have been successfully secured, including Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City.

In addition to being busy looking for new players, Arsenal are now also taking care of the departure of a number of their players. There are three names that will be released in the near future.

The three names are goalkeeper Bernd Leno, midfielder Lucas Torreira and striker Folarin Balogun.

For Leno, Arsenal are negotiating with Fulham. According to a report by Sky Sports via Antara, there is still a difference in the selling price of the two clubs, which means that the transfer cannot be completed.

The North London club are open to allowing the German goalkeeper to leave this summer. Moreover, Leno has entered the final year of his contract with the Gunners.

Arsenal have also signed United States goalkeeper Matt Turner in this summer's transfer window, who will be projected as a replacement for Leno and back-up to Aaron Ramsdale.

In addition, Arsenal are also preparing to release Torreira, whose contract has entered the final year at the Emirates. The club's management is waiting for an incoming offer for the Uruguayan midfielder.

Balogun is also one of the players whose future is still unclear at Arsenal despite taking a pre-season tour with the Gunners. Reportedly several clubs from the Championship division and the German League are interested in borrowing the player born on July 3, 2001.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will see Balogun's progress before deciding whether the 21-year-old should be loaned out to another club or play in Arsenal's first team this season.
