Arsenal are on the hunt for some big signings this summer, but there could be some bargains in the market too.
While attention is firmly fixed on the high-profile stars Andrea Berta is looking at, the contract situation of others could pique his attention.
Arsenal are always open to new opportunities, and with some players entering the final 12 months of their deal, the chance for a cut-price move could be on the cards.
So, with that said, here’s a look at some players out of contract in 2026 that Arsenal could sign for a bargain this summer.

Players out of contract in 2026 that Arsenal can sign
Marc Guehi
Arsenal are showing interest in Marc Guehi this summer, if the club do need to make any defensive additions.
The England international has been a top prospect in the Premier League for the past few years, and at 24 years old, he still has some potential to grow further.
With one year left on his deal and no sign of an extension, Guehi could be an option for the Gunners, dependent on moves elsewhere in the team.
Dusan Vlahovic
Arsenal’s long-standing interest in Dusan Vlahovic is no surprise, with Mikel Arteta being keen on the striker even before he joined Juventus.
The Serbian international is in his final year under contract with the Old Lady and faces a potential crossroads as a result.
There’s a suggestion that Vlahovic could face the decision between signing a new deal or being exiled over the summer.
That may open up a chance for Arsenal to pounce in the market.

Jean-Philippe Mateta
With Arsenal in the market for a striker, another option that could be available is Jean-Philippe Mateta.
The Crystal Palace star has hit new heights with the Eagles in recent seasons, becoming their starting number nine.
While it took some time for him to grow, the 27-year-old is nearing his peak and has become something of a seasoned goalscorer.
Considering their lack of goals in the past season, Arsenal could look to take advantage with Premier League proven quality.
