Jorginho and Tierney among 20 Arsenal players released

The club has made a list of the players’ current employers available on their retained list, with Jorginho and Kieran Tierney leaving at the end of their contracts on June 30.

Jorginho, an Italian midfielder who signed for Brazilian side Flamengo for £12 million from Chelsea in January 2023, made 79 appearances before moving to Gunners.

Scottish international Tierney made a reported £25 million move to the north London club from Celtic six years ago.

Before making 170 starts for Real Sociedad on loan in the 2023-2024 season, the left-back made 170 starts.

He made just 13 Premier League appearances this season before moving back to the Emirates Stadium, and he’s now set to rejoin Celtic.

At the end of June, Thomas Partey’s contract is also scheduled to expire, but negotiations are still ongoing for a new contract.

Raheem Sterling, an England international, signed a season-long loan from Chelsea to North London, but he will now score just one goal in 28 games.

Chloe Kelly, who won the women’s champions league with England and signed for Renee Slegers’ side on loan in January, is negotiating her Manchester City contract with the Gunners.
