Anyway, here is my case: I just realized that I have used a trademarked word.. like Arsenal.

I may totally abandon this app, but as a last resort, I wanna know is using something like Arsen@l or @rsenal instead.. will it be ok?

I don't want to get in trouble really. But just wondering what are my options to make this app happens.

Basically its an app that user can select his fav team from a table.
Quick answer - in US trademark law at least, changing one letter or a symbol is not enough to avoid liability. Minor spelling variations are considered inconsequential.
