The Gunners have confirmed that England striker Danny Welbeck, goalkeeper Petr Cech and defender Stephan Lichtsteiner will all leave the club at the end of their current contracts this summer.
Midfielder Aaron Ramsey will be out of contract but he has already confirmed his move to join Juventus as a free agent when his deal expires on June 30.
Arsenal also announced left-back Cohen Bramall, midfielder Charlie Gilmour, 20, and young Spanish defender Julio Pleguezuelo would also not be at the Emirates Stadium next season.
Welbeck, 28, joined Arsenal from Manchester United during 2014 and went on to win the FA Cup under Arsene Wenger.
Often utilised as an attacking option off the bench, Welbeck suffered a string of injury setbacks, the latest being a broken ankle against Sporting Lisbon in a Europa League tie on November 8.Despite the striker's long-term future being in doubt, the club had not made any official comment, while new head coach Unai Emery also gave little away.
However, following the Gunners' final home match of the Premier League season against Brighton , when a 1-1 draw ended hopes of a top-four finish, Welbeck was honoured with a memento from Arsenal chairman Sir Chips Keswick, and the stadium announcer added he would be "missed in the dressing room".
Emery later confirmed the decision Welbeck would leave when asked about the issue at the end of his post-match press conference.
Goalkeeper Cech is set to retire, but has been heavily linked with a return to his former club Chelsea in a sporting director role.
Full-back Lichtsteiner, meanwhile, leaves a year after signing from Juventus, with Arsenal opting not to extend his deal.
Switzerland captain Lichtsteiner, who made 23 appearances in all competitions for the Londoners, posted a farewell message to the Gunners on his Instagram account looking back on the disappointment of defeat to Chelsea in the Europa League final.
