Arsenal striker confirms he will be exiting the club this summer

Arsenal forward Omari Benjamin has announced he to leave the club in search of first-team football.

Benjamin confirmed his departure from Arsenal this summer, heightening speculation about a potential move to Everton.

The Gooner has been charting Benjamin's career, with the young gun making 16 Premier League 2 appearances during season 2022-23, grabbing an impressive 11 goals, as well as helping his team to reach the 2023 FA Youth Cup final.  

However, the talented 18-year-old forward has failed to kick-on this term, making only four appearance. 

Benjamin shared his decision via an Instagram post on Monday, to mark the end of his five-year career with Arsenal Academy.

The Toffees had expressed interest in securing Benjamin on a long-term contract, and the Gooner understands that the player's representatives and the Goodison Park outfit are already working on a long-term deal.
