After losing his spot in the Arsenal first team, the
Russian is let go for nothing after costing £15 million in 2009, with
Roque Santa Cruz and David Bentley other notable exits
Andrey Arshavin, William Gallas and Yossi Benayoun are among the biggest names to leave their clubs after the Premier League confirmed the players to depart each team at the end of their contracts this summer.
Gallas exits White Hart Lane, his third London club, alongside winger David Bentley (also a one-time £15m signing) after falling behind the likes of Jan Vertonghen and Michael Dawson in the centre-back pecking order.
Benayoun heads a list of decorated but second-choice names on their way out of Chelsea, with Paulo Ferreira, Hilario, Ross Turnbull and Florent Malouda all released.
Manchester United have not let go any first-team players, with the exception of the retiring Paul Scholes, though Liverpool-bound Kolo Toure exits Manchester City alongside Wayne Bridge, Roque Santa Cruz (a £17.5m signing in 2009) and youngster Filippo Mancini, son of recently sacked manager Roberto.
Elsewhere in the Premier League, notable departures include goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer from Fulham, who has been succeeded by Maarten Stekelenburg, Jermaine Pennant and Dean Whitehead of Stoke City and Argentina international Franco Di Santo from relegated Wigan.
