Josh Nichols leaves Arsenal to join NK Kustosija this summer
Summary

Arsenal defender Josh Nichols is set to transfer to Croatian club NK Kustosija, according to Fabrizio Romano. The 19-year-old academy graduate will sign a two-year deal after finding limited opportunities with Arsenal, where he was part of the Premier League-winning squad but rarely featured. This move comes amid expected changes to Arsenal's roster, with other first-team players likely to depart as the club aims to enhance depth for next season. The Gunners fell short in both the Champions League and the Carabao Cup finals during the past term, prompting their push for reinforcements.
