Arsenal have put at least six players up for sale before August 31 once Martin Odegaard and Aaron Ramsdale’s arrivals are confirmed.
According to the Daily Mirror, the six players Arsenal want to sell this summer are Willian, Sead Kolasinac, Lucas Torreira, Reiss Nelson, Eddie Nketiah and Ainsley Maitland-Niles.
Mikel Arteta’s side have had a busy summer but have only agreed on one sale so far, with Joe Willock joining Newcastle for £25million after a productive loan spell at St James’ Park last season.
David Luiz also left Emirates Stadium upon the expiry of his contract, while Matteo Guendouzi and William Saliba both joined Marseille on loan, with no other important departures at the Gunners.
Meanwhile, Nuno Tavares, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Ben White have all joined the North London club for around £76million while Odegaard will set Arsenal back another £34m.
Odegaard spent the second half of last season on loan at Arsenal from Real Madrid.
The Norwegian international will join the Premier League club permanently from the LaLiga giants imminently, with a deal potentially set to be announced on Friday.
Ramsdale will also join Arsenal from Sheffield United for around £30m to serve as a rival to Bernd Leno’s No 1 spot.
However, Arsenal technical director, Edu, is focused from now until the end of the window to complete the two deals as Arteta’s men need to sell the aforementioned six players to raise cash to offset their expenditure.
