The Arsenal academy ranks are set for another big change over the summer, with the squad expecting to wave goodbye to some key stars from over the years.

As with the passage of time, the latest set of players to make their way through the Hale End academy will be moving on, with the next generation expected to make the next step up.

For some stars, a place in the Arsenal senior team has followed, with the likes of Bukayo Saka, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri all currently impressing there.

As for others, playing time elsewhere may be on the cards as they look to forge their own professional career.

For Salah-Eddine Oulad M’hand, it appears as though the latter option is on the cards this summer.

Salah-Eddine Oulad M’hand set for Arsenal transfer exit this summer

Arsenal are set to let academy midfielder Salah-Eddine Oulad M’hand leave this summer as part of a raft of youth exits.

That’s according to Arsenal academy expert Jeorge Bird, who claims that the 21-year-old is likely to make a move elsewhere.

The Dutch starlet was signed by Arsenal in 2020 from Feyenoord, joining up with the under-21 ranks as a promising option for the future.

Injuries impacted Oulad M’hand, not least in his loan spell with Hull City, where he did not manage to make an appearance for them.

Some time on loan at Den Bosch offered more first-team experience, but he has been back in the Arsenal under-21s for the past year since his return.

The midfielder now faces a new challenge in finding the next step in his career after the Gunners.

Salah-Eddine Oulad M’Hand’s statistics at Arsenal

After five years at the club, Salah-Eddine Oulad M’Hand is set to leave without making an appearance for the senior side.

There were 12 appearances in the Arsenal squad, featuring on the bench on several occasions over the past few seasons.

That includes three call-ups this campaign, having been named on the bench for the Premier League game with Brighton and Champions League ties with Atalanta and Girona.

In the Arsenal academy, Oulad M’Hand featured 46 times, scoring 12 goals and assisting 11 times.

Having done all he can at that level, the next step is senior football, but it will not be with the Gunners.
