The 22-year-old signed for the Gunners from Hertha's academy three years ago, but he did not make a single competitive appearance.

After four loan stints with three different clubs, the club have eventually parted ways with him. He has been released as a free agent.

The decision was made before the 11pm deadline last night such that he can find a new club. Rekik reportedly has interest from the Championship.

Arsenal had a busy final day in the transfer window . Aside from Rekik, they sold Eddie Nketiah and Aaron Ramsdale to Crystal Palace and Southampton .

Reiss Nelson was also loaned out to Fulham in the dying stages. The club also made meaningful signings in the form of Neto and Raheem Sterling on year-long loans.

Neto will provide cover for David Raya as the second-choice goalkeeper while Sterling could do the same for Bukayo Saka on the right wing.
