It has not been a good year for Arsenal, their players, nor their fans. As I’ve said before, the whole club is in a state of turmoil.

The results haven’t been good at all. The club isn’t being run properly. There was the whole Super League fiasco. They’re not going to qualify for Europe this season, either.

To top all of that off, there are players that may be looking to leave the club at the end of the season.

David Luiz is going to leave the club soon, and reportedly, two of the team’s starters — two of their most important players — are set to follow suit.

According to the report, Bernd Leno and Granit Xhaka also want to leave the club after a terrible season on all levels.

There aren’t many things that have gone their way since Arsene Wenger left the club, are there?

Why are a bunch of Arsenal players heading towards the exit door?

Arsenal won’t win a single trophy this season and are currently set for their worst finish in the Premier League table since 1995. If that doesn’t paint you a picture of what’s going on, I don’t really know what will.

That’s probably why Leno and Xhaka want to leave. They are two very competitive players, and they would want to play in Europe against the big teams, but they won’t be able to at Arsenal — at least for another season.

Leno has probably been one of their best players for quite some time now, and he has saved Arsenal on many occasions. If he wasn’t there, things would look a lot worse for the Gunners.

If Leno actually leaves the club, Arsenal would have to look for a replacement as soon as possible.

He’s by far their number one choice and the second choice keeper that was actually worthy of starting for the club has already left — Emiliano Martinez joined Aston Villa and has been incredible ever since.

Their second choice ‘keeper — Matthew Ryan, who is on loan from Brighton, is nowhere near starter material for Arsenal, so they would have to look for a new shot-stopper.

If all of this is indeed true, then Arsenal need to do something so that they can prevent this situation from getting even worse. A lot of changes are to be made, and the club needs to start somewhere as soon as possible.
