3 Arsenal Rejects Who Are Having An Impressive Season

Sometimes letting some players leave isn’t what’s best for you, but you have to do it anyways if you want them to get some playing time and regain their form, or you just don’t want them to lose any market value, but don’t have enough space on your current roster to give them minutes.

It often happens that rejected players thrive elsewhere and you start to regret the fact that you allowed them to walk away from your team, as you start to see what you’ve been missing while having these guys on the bleachers, and Paul Pogba is the perfect example of it.

A team that has always been very good when managing their players is Arsenal, as Arsene Wenger has proven to be an outstanding boss when it comes to developing talent and making all the pieces fit in his scheme over the course of 20 years in the command of the North London institution.

However, he has made some mistakes along the way, and now that his team is on the verge of yet another title-chasing campaign and is starting to slow down as they usually do at this stage of the season, he should definitely miss some of the players he let go.

So, let’s take a look at 3 Arsenal rejects that are having an impressive season right now and could be thriving at the Emirates Stadium.

Wojciech Szczęsny

The Polish goalkeeper was let go on loan to AS Roma in order to make room for both David Ospina and the veteran Petr Cech, who arrived from Chelsea after being sent to the bench to let Thibaut Courtois take the reins.

However, both Ospina and Cech have been kind of clumsy at certain times, while Szczesny’s having one of the best years in his career in Italy, becoming an instant fan favourite and it’s very likely that he decides to extend his stay at Rome, where he’s been treated as he should.

Joel Campbell

The forward never really had a chance to shine with the Gunners, so he was sent off to Portugal to play for Sporting Lisbon, where he has quickly become one of the most important players in their offensive scheme.

Campbell has made 22 appearances overall for the Portuguese side, netting 4 scores to go along with 3 assists and a very stunning style of play, being a complete pace changer and creating great associations with the team alongside Gelson Martins, showing that he could provide a lot of help for Wenger’s side.

Serge Gnabry

This could easily wind up being one of the biggest regrets in Wenger’s career, as he let this young lad go away to play at his homeland for Werder Bremen, and he has been completely unstoppable since being the star of the Germany’s Olympics team at Rio.

The 21-year-old has been one of the most impressive youngsters in the world, netting 7 goals to go along with 1 assists over the course of 16 matches for Werder Bremen, and we just can’t figure out why on earth you would let a guy as talented as him go away from your team with all that bright future ahead of him.
