Bukayo Saka and Lewis-Skelly react as another Arsenal player confirms his exit
Arsenal teammates Bukayo Saka and Myles Lewis-Skelly were among those to react after another confirmed departure from the club.
It’s shaping up to be a hectic summer at the Emirates, with Mikel Arteta continuing to reshape his squad through a mix of arrivals and exits.
Several incomings have been confirmed with Arsenal announcing deals for Martin Zubimendi, Cristian Norgaard and Kepa Arrizabalaga.
But it’s not just new faces arriving in North London as outgoings have also been announced. Kieran Tierney has returned to Celtic, while Jorginho has made the move back to Brazil, signing for Flamengo.
Now, another departure has been confirmed, with the player sharing a farewell message on social media with the post prompting a wave of responses from teammates.
Arsenal stars react as Michal Rosiak confirms departure from club
Arsenal academy talent Michal Rosiak has confirmed he will leave the club this summer, despite enjoying a standout campaign in Premier League 2.
The 19-year-old sent a farewell message via Instagram, writing: “It’s time for me to step away” and adding that “Arsenal will always have a special place in my heart”.
His post sparked a wave of responses from both senior and academy players, with Lewis-Skelly dropping heart emojis and former teammate Ayden Heaven, now at Manchester United, commenting: “Top”.
Arsenal star Bukayo Saka and highly rated academy midfielder Max Dowman also showed their support by liking the post.
Rosiak, a Poland youth international, was named on the bench for the first team during their Champions League away clash with Real Madrid last season, although he never made a senior appearance.
Still, his contributions at youth level didn’t go unnoticed. The full-back ended the season with six goals and two assists in all competitions.
Despite being offered a new contract by the club, Rosiak opted not to sign and is now set to leave in search of regular senior football.

Ethan Nwaneri expected to sign new Arsenal deal
Despite the academy taking a loss on losing Rosiak, the senior pathway has been seen by Ethan Nwaneri, who is set to sign a new Arsenal deal.
Football Insider reported in March that Arsenal are pushing to finalise terms with Nwaneri, who is said to be “very happy” working under Arteta after a breakthrough campaign.
Manchester City and Chelsea have been monitoring his situation closely, but the Gunners appear confident of keeping hold of one of their most exciting young prospects.
