Emile Smith Rowe leaves door open for a January departure.
The England international has been a regular at the Emirates since Mikel Arteta took charge in December 2019.
He scored ten goals and made two assists in the 2021/22 season and became a fan favourite for his outstanding display.
But, he made his first start in 499 days in their 1-0 win at Brentford at the Carabao Cup last month.
The arrival of Kai Havertz this summer has pushed Smith Rowe further down the pecking order.
Injuries have also derailed his chances into the first-team picture at Arsenal and will now assess his options in the winter transfer window.
Pundit Gabby Agbonlahor believes this is the right time for the club academy graduate to leave the North London club.
Agbonlahor tells Football Insider: “100%. I really like him.
“It sometimes comes to a point where you love your club but you have to leave. I think Smith Rowe is now at that point.
“When the manager pays £60million for Kai Havertz, he’s going to get chance after chance. Not deservedly, but he will. There’s Vieira in there as well, so I don’t think Smith Rowe will get the minutes.
“I think he should leave. It’s a big time in his career.”
