Cohen Bramall was among the 12 players to leave Arsenal in permanent transfers under Unai Emery during the summer of 2019 and is now set to join Rotherham United from Lincoln City for just £200k.

Emery sought to clear the deadwood from his ranks at the Emirates Stadium in what would prove to be his final window in charge. The Spaniard had run the rule over his squad during the 2018/19 term after succeeding Arsene Wenger at the helm, but would only stay in command until that November.

His sole full campaign in charge saw the north London natives reach the Europa League final. Arsenal also finished fifth in the Premier League, but would then suffer the club’s worst run of results since 1992 after going seven games without a win in all competitions to bring about the end of his tenure.

Rotherham set to sign Bramall three years after player left Arsenal under Emery

Bramall appeared to hit out at Emery after the Spaniard included the left-back among the players to leave Arsenal when his contract expired in 2019. The £400k signing from Hednesford Town told Goal that year how the now-Villarreal gaffer should have put more faith in youngsters like Eddie Nketiah.

“I feel sorry for Ed because Danny [Welbeck] was injured for a lot of the season, and Ed should have been given more chances,” Bramall said. Adding: “The boss should have given him more chances.

“The first-team were in a difficult position last year, though, obviously trying to get Champions League [qualification] and the fact it was Unai’s first season made it hard for youngsters to get in.”

Now, three years on from Leaving Arsenal under Emery, Bramall is closing in on another spell in the Championship. Sky Sports report Rotherham are set to sign the defender from Lincoln City after the Millers triggered a £200k release clause on the back of sealing promotion as League One runners-up.

Bramall has previously played in the second-tier after joining Birmingham City on loan from Arsenal for the 2017/18 term. But the 26-year-old has only plied his trade in the lower leagues since Emery chopped him, with outings in League Two for Colchester United and League One with Lincoln City.

So, with Bramall now set to join Rotherham from Lincoln City three years after feeling the brunt of Emery’s axe, where are the other players to leave Arsenal permanently in the summer of 2019 now?
