Arsenal can complete three summer transfers thanks to contract situation

Arsenal have a history of making mistakes with contract mismanagement in the last decade.

From giving a bumper deal to Mesut Özil to signing Willian on big wages, Arsenal have made a number of high-profile errors. 

Given the financial impacts of the pandemic, it might be time for the Gunners to pick up some shrewd signings on the cheap.

Here are three players the club could sign for free because of expiring contracts.

Gianluigi Donnarumma

Arsenal goalkeeper, Bernd Leno, is reportedly open to leaving north London and Arsenal may look to cash in on the German while he still has two years left on his current deal.

If the Gunners are looking for a replacement then Gianluigi Donnarumma may be the perfect target.

The Italian international, who turned just 22 in February, may leave boyhood club AC Milan with his contract set to expire this summer. And signing Donnarumma would be a huge coup for Arsenal.

Donnarumma has been fiercely linked with Juventus but the Old Lady sit fifth in Serie A, outside the coveted Champions League spots.

The promising 'keeper has been in imperious form this season, registering an impressive 12 clean sheets, the second most in Italy's top-flight. His consistent shot-stopping has seen him rack up 25 caps for the Italian national team, a mean feat considering his age and competition.

Convincing him may prove to be a difficult task but if Arsenal can manage to get him on board Donnarumma would prove to be the perfect replacement for Leno and the Gunners wouldn't have to fork out a transfer fee.
