Arsenal planing to sell seven players this summer

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta hoping to get rid of seven players this summer.

The Premier League giants European expectations for the 2020-21 campaign are barely surviving, and a season without continental football would significantly affect the club’s funds.

Notwithstanding, Arteta is probably interested to fortify in various areas, with another right-back, left-back, creative midfielder and striker thought to be on the Gunners’ wish list.

As indicated by The Athletic, Arteta will want to support new signings through a mass departure of players, including Mathew Ryan and Dani Ceballos, whose loan deals lapse toward the end of the season.

The report also adds that Matteo Guendouzi, Lucas Torreira, Reiss Nelson, Hector Bellerin and David Luiz – the last of whom is out of contract in the summer – could all be on the way out two or three months’ time.

Arteta is supposed to focus on a permanent move for Real Madrid loanee Martin Odegaard, however the Arsenal manager could go to Nabil Fekir or Julian Brandt if the Norway skipper proves excessively expensive.

Arsenal announced on Tuesday that Folarin Balogun had signed another long term deal, however uncertainty still lingers over the fates of Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette.
