Michal Rosiak set to leave Arsenal
Hale End star Michal Rosiak is set to depart Arsenal after failing to agree a new contract with the club this summer.
Rosiak’s deal expired at the end of June and despite being offered a new deal, the versatile 19-year-old has chosen to move on.
Jack Wilshere was a big fan of Rosiak when coaching him in the under 18 side and the youngster is now set to develop his career elsewhere.

David Ornstein gives Gabriel Martinelli future update
According to journalist David Ornstein, it is unlikely that Arsenal will bring in a winger this summer if they do not sell Gabriel Martinelli.
Speaking on The Athletic FC Podcast, Ornstein has stated his belief that a winger will only arrive as a replacement for the Brazilian, not as competition.
Ornstein explained: “Arsenal always wanted to strengthen on the left wing, but they’ve got Gabriel Martinelli there. If he were to leave, then you could see them bringing in a top left-sided winger. If he’s not to leave, I don’t think so.”
