Arsenal midfielder set for summer exit

Tomas Rosicky is ready to leave Arsenal on a free transfer when his contract expires this summer.

The 34-year-old Czech Republic midfielder has been in discussions with the Gunners for some time regarding an extension, but an agreement has not been reached.

And it now looks likely that Arsene Wenger will let the experienced playmaker leave the Emirates Stadium, with his first-team future bleak.

Rosicky has managed just 567 minutes of Premier League action this term, and appears unlikely to force himself back into the XI ahead of the likes of Aaron Ramsey and Santi Cazorla.

The former Dortmund man has been in north London since 2006, turning in over 150 appearances in an injury-ravaged spell.

Once considered to be one of the finest emerging midfielders on the planet, the veteran star has failed to live up to the early billing.

He has 99 caps at senior international level to his name.
