Nathan Tormey confirms Arsenal exit on Twitter, fans respond

Add as preferred source on Google

Nathan Tormey has posted on Twitter to confirm he will be leaving Arsenal this summer with his contract expiring at the end of the month, rejecting a contract offer from the Gunners – and Arsenal fans have responded.

Tormey, 20, is highly-rated within the Arsenal academy but the Gunners had allowed the left-footed winger to enter the final stages of his contract. That is, despite Tormey training with the first team this season.

The youngster has been a constant part of Arsenal’s Under-23 Premier League campaign this season, clocking up 14 appearances and scoring five goals – three of which came against Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham.

With speculation over his future rife, Tormey has taken to Twitter to confirm that he has refused to sign a three-year deal with the Gunners and is instead looking for pastures new – rather than remaining at the Emirates.

Despite the breakthrough talents such as Bukayo Saka, Reiss Nelson, Joe Willock, Emile Smith-Rowe and Eddie Nketiah, Tormey has decided against remaining at the club as he sees his first-team chances better elsewhere.

Gunners fans reacted to Tormey’s Tweet as the winger confirmed he was to depart when his contract expires on June 30, and many are frustrated at their clubs inability to keep one of their highest-rated youngsters.
