Arsenal is set to end goalkeeper Runar Alex Runarsson’s contract immediately, as per a recent report. Initially signed in September 2020 as backup for Bernd Leno, the Iceland international faced challenges in his debut season, leading to a loan period with OH Leuven, Alanyaspor, and Cardiff City. Now, Arsenal, according to Fabrizio Romano, is terminating Runarsson’s contract, also breaking the loan deal with Cardiff. Runarsson is now eyeing a move to FC Copenhagen, with sources at Bold confirming the switch to Denmark is in its final stages.

Runar Alex Runarsson is poised to be the first winter departure from Arsenal, while other players face uncertain futures ahead of the looming Thursday deadline. Cedric Soares, the fringe right-back, had been in talks for a move to Galatasaray, but Serge Aurier’s deal with the Turkish giants has changed the landscape. Marquinhos, recalled from loan, might exit with Fluminense exploring a potential permanent deal. Jakub Kiwior’s agent dismissed suggestions of a January departure, indicating Mikel Arteta’s squad is likely settled for the second half of the season.
