In a Wednesday statement, the North London team also noted that four other players would no longer be in the club’s service.

“We can confirm the departures of Eric Dier, Ivan Perisic, Ryan Sessegnon and Japhet Tanganga following the conclusion of their contracts.

“We said farewell to both Eric and Ivan in January as they headed off to join their new clubs, initially on loan.

“Defender Eric joined Bayern Munich, having made 365 appearances and scored 13 goals in nine-and-a-half years with us, while left winger Ivan linked up with HNK Hajduk Split, having appeared 50 times in our colours, scoring once, following his arrival in 2022. Both of their contracts with us have now come to an end.

“Following the conclusion of the 2023/24 season, we now bid farewell to Ryan and Japhet.

“Left-back Ryan joined us from Fulham in 2019 and went on to make 57 appearances for us, scoring three goals. He also had a loan spell in Germany with Hoffenheim in 2020/21.

“Central defender Japhet is a product of our Academy system and enjoyed his breakthrough campaign at first team level with us in 2019/20, memorably making his Premier League debut from the start against Liverpool in January of that season. Japhet went on to make 50 senior competitive appearances in our colours before embarking on loan spells at FC Augsburg in Germany and latterly Millwall during the recently-concluded campaign.

“We thank Eric, Ivan, Ryan and Japhet for their service to the Club and wish them all the very best for the future,” the statement read.

The club also bid farewell to some players from their development squad and U-18 male team as they gear up in preparation for the next season.

“From our Development Squad, we can confirm the departures of Charlie Sayers following the conclusion of his contract and Billy Heaps following the conclusion of his third-year scholarship.

“Defender Charlie joined our Academy from Southend United in December, 2021, while midfielder Billy arrived from hometown club Stevenage in 2018.

“Under-18s players Kieran Morgan and Han Willhoft-King have also departed following the conclusion of their scholarships. They have been in our Academy system since the Under-8s and Under-7s respectively.

“We thank Charlie, Billy, Kieran, Han and their families for their hard work and dedication to our Academy and wish them well for the future,” it added.
