Reuell Walters will not sign a new contract with Arsenal and will leave as a free agent after declining an offer from the North London club.
According to a report by The Athletic, Arsenal’s efforts to keep hold of Reuell Walters beyond the summer transfer window have been unsuccessful. The 19-year-old academy graduate has knocked back an offer from the North London club and will become a free agent on July 1. Meanwhile, clubs from the Premier League, EFL Championship, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy and Belgium are interested in him.
Who is Reuell Walters?
Reuell Walters is one of the brightest young prospects to emerge from the Arsenal youth division in recent years. A native of London, he began his youth career at Tottenham Hotspur before moving across North London to join Arsenal in October 2020. Since then, he has come leaps and bounds, establishing himself as a regular for the Gunners’ Under-21 side.
The 19-year-old has turned out over 50 times for Arsenal’s under-21 team, chipping in with three assists. Meanwhile, Walters was a pivotal figure as the North London club won the FA Youth Cup last season. However, the Gunners have been in a spot of bother over the Englishman’s long-term future.
Walters has entered the final two months of his contract with Arsenal. While the Gunners have offered him a new deal, the teenager wants to embark on a new adventure. So, the English full-back has decided to part ways with Arsenal as a free agent in the summer transfer window.
What next?
Reuell Walters has no shortage of suitors pursuing him, with clubs from the Premier League, EFL Championship, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy and Belgium keen on signing him. However, English outfits cannot open talks with the 19-year-old Arsenal academy graduate until May 18.
Meanwhile, since Walters has a German passport, Arsenal will get a compensation package of €360,000 if he moves to Europe. The North London club can set the amount if the youngster joins an English club. The Englishman might not be the only Arsenal prospect leaving this summer, with Charlie Patino also seeking a summer exit.
However, other prospects, including Chido Obi, will likely sign a new contract with the North London outfit in the coming weeks. But Walters’s time at Arsenal will end when he leaves the club as a free agent in the summer transfer window.
