Arsenal
veteran Tomas Rosicky is set to say goodbye to the Gunners as his contract
expires next month.
The
Czech international who is one of the most senior player at the Emirates at the
moment will be leaving the Gunners on a free transfer this summer.
The
34-year-old is in talks with his old side Sparta Prague from where he started
his career. His boyhood club wants him to play for them before announcing his retirement.
He
has only made 14 Premier League appearances this season for the Gunners because of the completion
in the midfield. Santi Cazorla, Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez all are at top of
their form.
The
Gunners have no plans to offer him a new deal and the player also wants to
leave the club as he eyes to end his career on high.
The
Gunners signed Rosicky from Borussia Dortmund in 2006 for an undisclosed fee.
The attacking midfielder has made more than 240 appearances for the north
London side since his move.
Rosicky
lifted only a FA Cup trophy in his entire Arsenal career.
Meanwhile,
the reports further claim that Theo Walcott, Mikel Arteta and injury prone Abou
Diaby are also likely to leave the club.
Walcott returned earlier this year from long term injury but has not been given enough chances due to tough competition in the squad. He has been targeted by Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers.
