Arsenal Agree to Terminate Contract of Overlooked Player

Share

Signed in September 2020 from Dijon to provide cover for Bernd Leno, Runarsson faced challenges in his debut season, making only six appearances and subsequently slipping down the pecking order.

After being loaned out to various clubs, including OH Leuven, Alanyaspor, and Cardiff City, where he served as the backup option, Arsenal has now decided to terminate Runarsson’s contract, concurrently ending the loan agreement with Cardiff.

As reported by Fabrizio Romano, the termination paves the way for a potential move to FC Copenhagen in Denmark, with Bold confirming that the transfer is in its final stages.

Runarsson is poised to be the first player departing Arsenal this winter, with other players facing uncertain futures as the Thursday deadline approaches.

Cedric Soares, a fringe right-back, had been in talks for a move to Galatasaray.

However, with the Turkish club securing Serge Aurier from Nottingham Forest, Cedric’s potential departure is in question, especially considering his contract expires this summer.

Winger Marquinhos, recently recalled from his loan at Nantes, might also be on the way out.

Reports suggest that Fluminense in Brazil is exploring a deal to secure the 20-year-old’s signature permanently.

Contrary to speculation, Jakub Kiwior’s agent has dismissed the possibility of his departure from Arsenal before January’s deadline.

Mikel Arteta’s squad appears to be set for the second half of the season.
