4 players who need to leave Man City this summer

Manchester City win so much that most of their players can’t feel anything other than giddy, but that doesn’t mean a few stars aren’t grumpy at the Etihad Stadium right now.
While the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland and Phil Foden continue to attract praise at every possible turn, a number of players have stalled in Manchester due to a blocked path to the starting XI or simply not fitting into manager Pep Guardiola’s ideals.
But which City squad members could do with a summer exit this year to revive their career prospects? Here are four players who need to leave the club this summer.

Previously a feared England international with Leeds United, the tough-tackling midfielder has found minutes incredibly tough to come by under Guardiola and, with his 29th birthday coming up later this year, a summer exit is imperative.
He looked incredibly short on confidence during a loan spell at West Ham United but whichever club Phillips ends up at will be hopeful of helping him rediscover his best form.
Jack Grealish

Jack Grealish has the tendency to blow hot and cold, such is his playing style as a forthright winger, but 2023/24 was an immense disappointment for the former Aston Villa captain.
The £100m man made only ten Premier League starts out of 20 appearances in the division, scoring three times alongside a solitary assist. Injuries weren’t kind to the 28-year-old, but it was little surprise when he was left out of Gareth Southgate’s England squad for Euro 2024.
Grealish could yet make a resurgence at the Etihad, but a move away may help the Brummie regain his creative streak.
Julian Alvarez

Only Phil Foden ended up making more appearances for City in all competitions last season, with the Argentine World Cup winner scoring 19 goals in his 53 games.
The 24-year-old has one of the most glistening trophy cabinets in modern football at a tender age but, given he has been linked with a transfer out of the Premier League in recent weeks, he may not be totally content with his role.
Injuries to key first-team stars like De Bruyne helped him rack up plenty of minutes, but Haaland’s presence up top means Alvarez won’t ever be the main man for City. If a club were to pick him up in the transfer window, they would be making one of the signings of the summer.
Matheus Nunes

The legend has it that Kalvin Phillips was benched so Matheus Nunes could be benched. Or something along those lines.
A late addition last year, the 25-year-old was rarely thrown in from the beginning in the Premier League but did at least make five starts in the Champions League, registering an assist.
The Portugal international may well have been the victim of Guardiola’s judgement, with new City signings often being given a lot of time before they are eventually trusted to perform. However, the longer he gets such a minimal brief, the more frustrated and eager for a departure he could become.

The England international has led these rankings for most of the season, and thoroughly deserves to win the prize
Arsenal pushed Manchester City hard in the Premier League title race last season, before Pep Guardiola’s side’s superior resources and elite mentality allowed them to pull away and eventually secure a famous treble. This time around, the Gunners have done the same again, with Mikel Arteta’s side still in with a shot of ending their trophy drought going into the final day.
To keep pace with Guardiola’s charges, Arsenal have had to get even better this season, with their recent victory over Manchester United making sure they have now improved their previous seasons’ points tally in each of Arteta’s full campaigns at the helm. As well as getting stronger as a collective, the players have also undergone a process of rapid, individual development.
And over the last few months, GOAL has been tracking all of the runners and riders for Arsenal’s Player of the Season award. Now, it’s finally time to assess who most deserves to receive the prestigious honour at the end of the campaign – and it’s very tight at the top…
Previous update: February 20, 2024.

JURRIEN TIMBER ARSENAL PREMIER LEAGUE 12082023Getty Images
22Jurrien Timber (N/A) ↔️
Timber looked like being an ideal addition to Mikel Arteta’s backline when he arrived from Ajax for £40 million ($49.5m) this summer. He performed well in the Community Shield, but an ACL injury sustained in the Gunners’ Premier League opener against Nottingham Forest condemned him to a season on the sidelines.

Match Preview
Aaron Ramsdale Arsenal 2023-24Getty Images
21Aaron Ramsdale (2/10) ↔️
Ramsdale would have been sweating when David Raya was signed in the summer, and his fears were justified. Following a sketchy display against Fulham, Raya replaced him against Everton and the Spaniard hasn’t relinquished the gloves since.
Publicly, Arteta outlined a utopian vision where the pair would rotate – sometimes even during a game. However, it’s pretty clear who the No.1 is and it’s not Ramsdale. The situation initially created plenty of debate, and the England international had his supporters, but now almost everyone has accepted that Raya represents a significant upgrade. It’s time for Ramsdale to move on.
Reiss Nelson Arsenal 2023-24Getty Images
20Reiss Nelson (2.5/10) ↔️
The Arsenal youth-team graduate continues to struggle to break into the senior side. Nelson has earned a handful of starts, notably setting up Eddie Nketiah’s goal in a Champions League dead rubber against PSV, but generally this season has represented a step backwards after a 2022-23 campaign which included some iconic moments.
The winger is rarely a detriment to the side when he does come on, but he’s hardly set the world alight either. Now 24, you’d imagine he’ll be looking to depart in the summer, even though he has signed a new contract fairly recently.
Fabio Vieira Arsenal 2023Getty Images
19Fabio Vieira (3/10) ⬇️
After a pretty uninspiring debut season at the Emirates, Vieira seemingly came out with a point to prove this campaign. Establishing his reputation as one of Arteta’s second-half ‘finishers’ early on, he provided assists in successive Premier League matches against Fulham and Manchester United.
However, he could not maintain that momentum. Vieira soon dropped out of the starting XI and was then dealt a double blow, seeing red against Burnley in November before picking up a serious groin injury. Those issues essentially ended his season, with the midfielder scarcely being seen again.
Emile Smith Rowe 2023-24Getty Images
18Emile Smith Rowe (3.5/10) ⬆️
It’s hard not to feel a little sorry for Smith Rowe. After impressing at the European Under-21 Championship over the summer, he would have been hopeful of tasting some more first-team action this season.
However, his minutes have largely come in the form of late cameos, aside from a decent outing against Sheffield United in October – after which his momentum was halted by an untimely injury – and a rare start against struggling Luton in April. A summer exit seems likely.
Eddie Nketiah Arsenal Nottingham Forest 2023-24 Premier LeagueGetty
17Eddie Nketiah (4/10) ⬇️
Linked with a move away from the Emirates during the summer, Nketiah stuck around and was rewarded with an extended run in the starting XI at the beginning of the season. His involvement tailed off after that, with the hat-trick he bagged against Sheffield United in October representing the last time he would net this season.
It seems highly unlikely that he will stick around beyond the summer, and the fact that he’s hardly played towards the tail-end of the campaign will have done little to increase his transfer value.
20230722_Thomas_Partey(C)Getty images
16Thomas Partey (4.5/10) ⬆️
We shouldn’t sugar coat it – this has been a largely disastrous season for Partey. Injuries have reduced him to a ghost-like figure in the Gunners ranks for the majority of the campaign, and he missed AFCON too.
If it wasn’t for his very recent return to the first team coinciding with some of Arsenal’s best midfield displays of the season, he’d be even further down this list. His future remains uncertain ahead of the summer, which is pretty startling considering how indispensable he seemed during the relatively recent past.
Oleksandr Zinchenko 2023-24Getty Images
15Oleksandr Zinchenko (5.5/10) ↔️
Zinchenko’s pre-season was disrupted by a calf injury – an event that set the tone for a testing campaign. In his maiden year in north London, he earned rave reviews for his technical prowess, with his in-possession contributions from an inverted full-back role helping his side pull apart their opposition.
But as the campaign has progressed, concerns have increasingly been raised about Zinchenko’s defending and decision-making. He now has more critics than defenders within the fanbase, and has only sparingly featured since struggling in a damaging 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa in April.
20231111 Mikel Arteta Takehiro Tomiyasu(C)Getty Images
14Takehiro Tomiyasu (6/10) ↔️
Tomiyasu is a useful member of the Arsenal squad, thanks to his defensive versatility. However, he’s endured somewhat of a stop-start season this time out, thanks to both fitness issues and his involvement in the Asian Cup with Japan.
After a strong start to the campaign, he looked a little unconvincing on his return from injury in March, though he’s found himself back in the starting XI more recently and has fared pretty well. He’ll be hoping to be available for the duration next season.
Gabriel Jesus Arsenal 2023-24Getty Images
13Gabriel Jesus (6/10) ⬇️
Niggling injuries have plagued Jesus’ season, but even when fully fit, the Brazilian has not quite been at his best, especially in the second half of the campaign. As always, his finishing has been far from world-class, though – as we’ve heard many times before – his all-round game often makes up for his lack of goals.
The fact he missed out on Brazil’s Copa America squad speaks to his slightly underwhelming campaign and it may even be time for the club to consider moving him on. He seems unlikely to regain his starting spot and Arsenal need to sell him now before he starts losing his value.
Jakub Kiwior Arsenal 2023-24Getty Images
12Jakub Kiwior (6/10) ⬆️
Following an extremely quiet start to the season, injuries saw Kiwior enjoy an extended run in the first team at left-back. After struggling in the same role previously, he began to look far more comfortable as the season wore on. The Poland international has looked dependable, if not overly flashy, and should have shown enough to earn a similar role next campaign.
Gabriel Martinelli Arsenal 2023-24Getty Images
11Gabriel Martinelli (6/10) ↔️
Martinelli had to wait a while for his first Premier League goal of the season, but it was well worth the delay, coming in the dying stages of his side’s massive victory over Man City.
However, all in all, the Brazilian will be disappointed with his numbers, particularly in the second half of the season, with Leandro Trossard even stealing his place in the starting XI recently.
Jorginho Declan Rice Arsenal 2023-24Getty Images
10Jorginho (7/10) ↔️
Jorginho received criticism after both the Man City and Chelsea games in the autumn, though playing through those midfields was always going to be a challenge. He was pretty good after that, though, cutting a stubborn Sevilla side open with a sumptuous assist in the Champions League and even wearing the captain’s armband against Newcastle and Burnley.
He also proved he still belongs in the biggest games, starring in the Gunners’ huge win over Liverpool in February, though he was less eye-catching in the two legs of the Bayern Munich tie. Regardless, he was more than deserving of the new contract handed to him in May.
Kai Havertz Arsenal 2024Getty Images
9Kai Havertz (7.5/10) ↔️
After being widely mocked during his first few months as a Gunner, Havertz has managed to silence his critics over the past few months. The German comfortably reached double figures for goals in the end, while also chipping in with a string of important assists.
More than that, though, Havertz has begun to prove that he could be the man to lead the line for Arteta going forward. His physicality and clever movement helps get the best out of those around him, which may convince the club to decline the opportunity to spend big on a No.9 this summer.
David Raya Arsenal 2023-24Getty
8David Raya (7.5/10) ↔️
It’s clear why Arteta likes Raya, despite the controversy his arrival caused. His competence on the ball has drastically improved Arsenal’s build up – and the mistakes that punctuated his early Emirates career are becoming less and less frequent. He’s not quite Player of the Season material, but the Premier League Golden Glove winner deserves immense credit for answering his doubters so emphatically.
Leandro Trossard Arsenal Manchester United 2023-24Getty Images
7Leandro Trossard (7.5/10) ↔️
Trossard has squeezed everything he possibly could out of his limited minutes this season. In the Premier League, he has averaged 0.69 goals per 90, a better rate than Golden Boot contenders Ollie Watkins, Dominic Solanke and Phil Foden have managed.
He’s popped up with some vital Champions League strikes too, netting in a hard-fought victory over Sevilla, in the last 16 against Porto and then in an exciting quarter-final first-leg clash with Bayern Munich. Take away these contributions and the Gunners’ second half of the campaign looks strikingly different.
Ben White Arsenal 2023-24Getty Images
6Ben White (8/10) ↔️
How gutting must it have been for England boss Gareth Southgate to watch White put in the performances that he has this season? Although his prospects of making an international return seem remote, the ex-Brighton man has been one of the best full-backs in Europe this season.
Defensively, he is elite, with a long list of top-class wide men struggling to get any joy against White. His attacking contributions have been solid too, with Arsenal fans having a lot of love for Mr Consistent.
Gabriel Arsenal 2023-24Getty Images
5Gabriel Magalhaes (8.5/10) ↔️
After it appeared that Arteta had gone off him in the early weeks of the campaign, Gabriel has been in the first team for the majority of the season. During this time, he has taken his game to the next level, forming one half of the best centre-back pairing in England alongside William Saliba.
He’s proved to be a potent weapon from set-pieces too, netting four times, including twice against Crystal Palace back in January. The turnaround has been quite incredible, considering he seemed to be out of favour at the beginning of the season.
Martin Odegaard Arsenal 2023-24Getty Images
4Martin Odegaard (8.5/10) ↔️
The heartbeat of this Arsenal side last season, Odegaard was affected by injuries in November. Even before this setback, his goal and assist numbers were significantly down, though he has turned his fortunes around in the second half of the season.
The Norwegian knits everything together for Arsenal in the final third and his unparalleled passing ability has lit up the Emirates over the past few months. He’s also scored some important goals and continues to repay the faith shown in him by Arteta when he named the midfielder club captain back in 2022.
Saliba(C)Getty Images
3William Saliba (8.5/10) ↔️
Arsenal missed Saliba dearly when he was sidelined at the end of last season, and Arteta will be mightily relieved to have had him back for the run-in this year. We know what to expect from the Frenchman by now and he has delivered a string of solid performances at the back this campaign.
A rare error against Liverpool and a couple of shaky Champions League displays aside, Saliba has been pretty much perfect. He is one of the biggest reasons why Arsenal have been so fearsome defensively and will no doubt be included in the Premier League Team of the Season.
Saka-ArsenalGetty
2Bukayo Saka (8.5/10) ↔️
Still only 22, Saka continues to solidify his reputation as one of the most productive widemen in Europe. His goals were particularly important during the opening stretch of the season, when Arsenal were still figuring out their best configuration up front. Throughout this period, Saka was consistently decisive, and he was similarly influential during January and February, when he enjoyed a run of eight goals in just seven Premier League games.
Despite often being on the receiving end of some meaty tackles, and Arteta being reluctant to ever hand him a proper rest, he has managed to remain available for pretty much the entire campaign. He probably hasn’t always got the credit he’s deserved this season, but there’s little doubt that he’s been Arsenal’s best attacker.
Declan Rice Arsenal 2023-24Getty Images
1Declan Rice (9/10) ↔️
There were questions asked when Arsenal spent over £100m ($127m) on Rice this summer – but he’s proved to be well worth that hefty investment. His drama
