After bringing in eight new faces over the summer transfer window of 2025 – including Martin Zubimendi, Viktor Gyokeres and Ebere Eze – Arsenal enjoyed a quiet January transfer window with no major incomings or exits. Departures will likely become more of a running theme in N5 going forward, however, with manager Mikel Arteta boasting a highly competitive squad.

Despite the influx of arrivals over the summer, Arsenal haven't made too many major outgoings of late, with Nuno Tavares, Marquinhos, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Oleksandr Zinchenko fetching under £20 million for their combined sales this season. The club's Hale End production line has been a regular source of profit, however, with the likes of Eddie Nketiah, Emile Smith Rowe, Folarin Balogun and Joe Willock all sold for between £20m and £30m, with their sales representing pure profit, thanks to their status as academy graduates.

Another graduate in Charles Sagoe Jr, meanwhile, has just left London Colney, with his new club, Kalmar FF in Sweden, confirming a loan move. Sagoe Jr made his Gunners debut in the 2023/24 League Cup tie against Brentford, as the only youth prospect given a debut that campaign, following Ethan Nwaneri's bow a year earlier – but the Londoner is now 2022 and hasn't played since for Arteta.

In that time, Sagoe Jr has appeared on loan at Swansea City and Shrewsbury Town, and even turned down an international call-up for Liberia. Kalmar sporting director Mats Winblad has described the 21-year-old as “a player we have followed for a long time, ” adding that Sagoe Jr “is stepping into training and hopefully we will see him in the game already on Saturday against IFK Norrkoping. ” With Sweden's top flight ranked lower in UEFA's coefficient than the top tier in Czech Republic, Greece, Cyprus and Scotland, Sagoe Jr's move perhaps highlights Arsenal's recent struggles in developing their youngsters.

Last year, the Gunners lost both Ayden Heaven and Chido Obi to Manchester United, while talents such as Dan Ballard, Xavier Amaechi and Reiss Nelson have been highly rated as youth players but never nailed down a consistent first-team spot at the Emirates Stadium. Recently, Per Mertesacker stepped down as Academy Manager at the club, after eight years in the role. Sagoe Jr is worth €300k, according to Transfermarkt.
