We asked Arsenal fans who they think Arsenal should keep, loan and sell this summer.

There were some interesting responses. Should Max Dowman spend next season away from the Emirates Stadium?

Aimee

Keep Viktor Gyokeres. He made a slow start, but has looked the real deal during the business end of the season.

Loan Max Dowman and Marli Salmon. Both are hugely exciting academy prospects who have already experienced a league title success. Now they need regular minutes to continue their development.

Sell Ben White. He has been an excellent servant to the club and it was great to see him finish the season on a high. However, there are doubts over how many more years he can perform at the level required for a side challenging for the Premier League title.

Billy

Keep Ethan Nwaneri. He should remain with the first team and compete for his place, particularly given his ability to operate anywhere across the line behind the striker.

Loan Dowman for a season to gain valuable experience before stepping into what many believe will be a long-term role in the side.

Sell Martin Odegaard. His form has dipped and there is an argument that Eberechi Eze and Nwaneri could provide strong competition, or even take over, in that position.

Jamie

Keep Leandro Trossard for another year. He delivered important goals in crucial moments towards the end of the campaign and continues to make a telling contribution season after season.

Loan Nwaneri for a year. His potential is enormous and a temporary move could aid his development, much as it did for William Saliba.

Sell Gabriel Martinelli. He remains a good player, but Arsenal may need a higher-calibre option on the left wing, someone capable of providing more consistent end product. Trossard could then depart the following summer as part of a wider refresh in that area.

Charlie

Keep White to share responsibilities with Jurrien Timber. We're going to need a big squad to compete in multiple competitions again next season. 

Loan Dowman so he can enjoy regular playing time. He has the potential to be an Arsenal legend and this is a crucial period in his development. 

Sell Gabriel Jesus. Since suffering his World Cup injury, he has struggled to regain the physical sharpness that once made him such an effective forward.

Owen

Keep Gyokeres. With consistent service from Odegaard and Bukayo Saka, he has the qualities to score goals regularly.

Loan Dowman to help him gain experience, while ensuring he returns to Arsenal, where many expect him to become a key player in the future.

Sell Martinelli. The left side of the attack remains an area that could be strengthened and the proceeds from a sale could be reinvested there.

Keith

Keep Martinelli. He has found Premier League football more challenging recently, but remains a valuable option, particularly in cup competitions. His pace is still a major asset in the modern game.

Loan Nwaneri. As a Hale End graduate, his future remains closely tied to the club.

Sell Kai Havertz. At his best he can be a hugely influential player, but persistent fitness issues have limited his impact. If those problems continue and he misses significant football again, Arsenal may have to consider moving on.
