Jesse Lingard, a former member of the England national team, will depart Nottingham Forest when his contract expires.
Lingard raised questions when he signed a lucrative one-year contract with Forest instead of West Ham last season after their promotion to the Premier League.
Although he only made 20 appearances in all competitions during his stay at the City Ground, he did manage to score twice in the Carabao Cup.
He only made four appearances in 2023, but he was a dependable presence on the sidelines as Forest defied the odds to remain in the Premier League.
The 30-year-old will now search for a third club in three years after being linked to several lucrative foreign leagues, according to sources.
Along players Jack Colback, Cafu, Lyle Taylor, and Jordan Smith, Andre Ayew, who signed a short-term contract in January, will also leave the City Ground this summer.
Serge Aurier, the right-back who was instrumental in helping Forest survive, has exercised the one-year option in his contract and will remain for the 2023–24 season.
The contracts of loanees Dean Henderson, Keylor Navas, and Renan Lodi are up, although it's believed that Forest is interested in looking into permanent transfers for Brazilian Lodi and Manchester United goalkeeper Henderson.
The recruitment campaign Forest undertook last summer, in which they added 22 players by the conclusion of the transfer window and 30 by the end of January, is not anticipated to be repeated.
However, it is still likely to be busy as manager Steve Cooper looks to acquire a smaller number of quality players and will be eager to let some players go as he trims a large squad.
Sabri Lamouchi signed Arter, and it appeared like a fair deal at the time. However, after just two outings for Arter, the manager was replaced by Chris Hughton, who didn't like him.
At 33, Arter doesn't seem likely to sign with another team. Before his promotion pay raise, he was earning £38,000 per week, therefore it is unimaginable what he is making today.
