Arsenal’s summer transfer business has been extremely busy, but there are still more deals to be done before it slams shut in the next week.
The Gunners have worked hard to complete plenty of signings, but Andrea Berta must now switch his focus to potential exits.
Five Arsenal players are free to leave the club this summer, with permanent exits preferred for those stars.
While they are looking to move on, the Hale End academy has several aces who could look for a move on the loan front.
One Arsenal youngster is being lined up for a switch, as attention turns towards where he could land in the final week of the market.
Arsenal open to Ismeal Kabia loan exit in the summer transfer window
One of those Arsenal stars looking towards a potential loan exit is Ismeal Kabia, who has featured for the under-18s and under-21s in the past year.
The 19-year-old is a versatile winger, capable of playing on both flanks and offering the sort of option many teams would want.
Kabia made his Arsenal debut last season in the EFL Cup, featuring in a win over Bolton Wanderers in the competition.
There were four squad appearances in the Champions League and nine in the Premier League, as he featured around the senior side.
With that said, The Athletic claims that the forward could be in line for a loan move as he searches for more senior minutes.
It’s unclear exactly which teams could be in for him, but Kabia could get that first taste of a new environment elsewhere.
One Arsenal youth expert claimed he was the “quickest” wide player he had seen in the years of following the side.
Kabia also came in for some praise from the under-19s coach, Max Porter, back in December 2024, for his display against AS Monaco in the UEFA Youth League.
“It was one of the best performances I’ve seen him have,” he told the Arsenal website. “He’s got to keep doing that and find that level consistently. Then there will be much more opportunities here at Arsenal or, if not, elsewhere to better his career.”
Those opportunities could open up in the final week of this transfer window, but he may not be the only one from the Arsenal academy who is set for an exit.

Two other Arsenal academy stars could follow Ismeal Kabia with a loan move
While Kabia is being lined up for a potential loan exit, he may not be the only Arsenal youngster set for a move.
The Athletic add that Maldini Kacurri and Charles Sagoe Jr are also facing moves away in the final days of the window.
Kacurri got his first taste of a loan last season when he moved to Bromley in League Two, but he was only handed three appearances.
The 19-year-old will be looking to build on that, should a move soon follow.
Sagoe Jr has had two loans so far in his career, featuring for Swansea City and Shrewsbury Town, but failing to establish himself with either.
The next move for him could be important in cementing himself as a senior player at the top level of football.
