Four players who could play their final Arsenal league match against Crystal Palace

Arsenal will travel to Crystal Palace for the last game of this Premier League season possibly marking some players’ final top-flight match for the club

Arsenal will bring their Premier League campaign to a close away to Crystal Palace on Sunday. But for some, it could be the last time they play for the club in the top-flight.

The Gunners still have a Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain to contest after a visit to Selhurst Park as they look to win the competition for the very first time. However, some of Mikel Arteta’s current squad may be sold when the next transfer window arrives.

Christian Norgaard has struggled this season, having only signed in the summer of 2025 from Brentford. He has been left out of the last two Premier League matchday squads and may not feature on Sunday ahead of a premature departure. Ben White has also been linked with a move away from the Emirates, but is sidelined for the Palace clash.

Yet some of Arteta’s cohort might make a last league appearance before a potential exit and Mirror Football takes a look at four names in particular.

Gabriel Jesus

With both Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz now seemingly ahead of Gabriel Jesus in the Arsenal striker pecking order, the Brazilian could seek pastures new this summer.

Jesus signed a five-year deal when he arrived from Manchester City in 2022 and there has seemingly been no progress on an extension. This means his contract will expire, as things stand, in 2027.

The forthcoming window may therefore be the last time Arsenal can garner a fee for the 29-year-old, who is currently one of their highest-paid players. Although he didn’t feature in their latest win against Burnley, he was on the bench and can play against Palace.

Leandro Trossard

Trossard, who has scored a handful of crucial goals for the Gunners of late, could find himself in a similar situation to Jesus. He is 31 and his contract is up in 2027.

Arsenal did show faith in Trossard at the beginning of the season by upping his wages, but if a suitable offer arrives in the summer, they may cash in.

Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke’s arrivals ramped up speculation that he can leave the club and the Palace match might be the final time fans see him in the English top flight. It must be said that the Belgian has previously rubbished these rumours.

Myles Lewis-Skelly

Less likely to leave than Jesus and Trossard, Myles Lewis-Skelly has failed to secure consistent game time at Arsenal this season. He has started just four league matches.

The 19-year-old enjoyed a stellar 2025, making his England debut and firmly entering Arteta’s first-team calculations. But with Cristhian Mosquera and Piero Hincapie signed, his minutes have been greatly reduced. The Palace match may be his final league outing in Arsenal red.

If the club were to sell Lewis-Skelly, any fee generated would be pure profit and might be invested directly elsewhere. The BBC has reported that both he and fellow academy star Ethan Nwaneri could be sold for a combined £100m.

Gabriel Martinelli

Offloading Gabriel Martinelli may seem a ludicrous prospect, but rumours suggest the Gunners have their eyes on another world-class winger in the summer who can shine opposite Bukayo Saka.

Martinelli has been a loyal servant to Arsenal and his pace off the bench has been key to their recent success. But his contract will end in 2027 unless the club exercises the option to extend it by an extra year. He is also far from the first name on the team sheet.

One would expect him to play at Selhurst Park, whether from the start or as a substitute, but if things materialise in the upcoming window, he might soon head elsewhere to play his football.

In January, Martinelli was linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League. More recent speculation claims that PSG and Bayern Munich are interested, with any sale potentially funding a blockbuster attacking arrival, along the lines of Julian Alvarez.
