(for context, David Ornstein is BBC's most reliable Arsenal correspondent and probably the second most Arsenal source period after the club website)
My predicted departures (besides Sanchez and possibly Ozil) are: Debuchy, Gibbs, Ospina, Jenkinson, and Lucas Perez. Debuchy and Gibbs are way off in terms of a starting spot as they're competing with Bellerin/Ox-Chambo and Monreal/Kolasinac on their respective flanks. Ospina has repeatedly said he will leave if an offer comes, I think Everton should definitely be considering him if they can't get Hart or Pickford but I could also see him going to Spain or even back to France. Jenko unfortunately hasn't proven himself to be Arsenal standard and will probably go to the Championship although I could see a newly-promoted club picking him up as he did alright on loan with West Ham, stupid red cards aside. Perez is probably the one I am most bitter about, because every time he played he looked sharp and lethal and a clinical finisher, which is definitely not what you would describe Welbeck or Giroud with. Yet often times he got benched for the likes of Walcott (who should be off too if we find somebody stupid enough to match his wage demands). With him gone we no longer have the option of a pacy finisher (Giroud is anything but pacy and not really consistent, while Welbeck is pace and work-rate but not much goalscoring). I would have liked to see him in the 3-4-3 but it seems he wants to go to Spain. Sevilla would be an interesting destination but he's also a huge Deportivo homeboy and they love him there so that is also an option.
