Since Mikel Arteta was appointed as Unai Emery's successor in December of 2019, he has made significant changes to Arsenal.

The Spaniard has transformed the club bringing in 29 players to the Emirates since his time in charge and has also let a few big names walk out the door.

This summer it is expected that Arteta and Arsenal are open to allowing even more players to depart the club.


It is being reported they are ready to listen to offers for at least seven players this summer, with three players already expected to exit the North London side. 

Bids will be considered for Aaron Ramsdale, Eddie Nketiah, Emile Smith Rowe, Kieran Tierney, Nuno Tavares, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Reiss Nelson as the Spaniard looks to improve the depth in his sqaud so he can continue to rival Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.

Arsenal are willing to listen to offers for up to seven of their players, with three expected to leave the club for certain

Right-back Cedric Soares, midfielder Mohamed Elneny and goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo are almost certain departees for the Gunners this summer, giving that their contracts will expire at the the end of June.

Elsewhere, some of Arsenal's academy stars may also be set to walk out this summer, with the North London side expected to receive interest for Nketiah, Smith-Rowe and Nelson.

All three have attracted plenty of interest from within the Premier League, whilst Nelson has previously been looked at by clubs from abroad in the past.

Playing on loan with Bundesliga side Hoffenheim and Eredivise's Feyenoord respectively. 

Many fans may be shocked to find Emile Smith Rowe on the list of potential Arsenal departures this summer as he has long been a fan favourite.

However the 23-year-old has struggled to fulfil his potential since breaking into the first team as an academy player. 

Aston Villa could be one of the strong contenders to snatch up the young Gunner, as they have long been an admirer of the midfielder. 

Arsenal rejected two bids from the residents of Villa Park back in 2021.

Another long time Arsenal player who may be on the chopping block this summer is goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale. 

The out-of-favour goalkeeper has long attracted interest from other Premier League clubs including Newcastle and Chelsea. 

Thomas Partey's future at the club is also expected to be evaluated by the Gunners chiefs as he just has under a year left on his contract.

The Ghanaian midfielder has been riddled with injury this past year but has proven his class on the pitch after returning to full fitness over the past few weeks.

Thomas Partey's injury woes could also see the Gunners cash in on the Ghanaian midfielder as they look to improve squad depth

The departure of some of Arsenal's academy players would hugely aid the North London derby in their attempt to stay wirthin the guidelines of the Premier League PSR rules, as the sale of Nkettah, Smith-Rowe and Nelson would reflect a 100 percent profit.

Which would be a huge help to the Premier League title challengers keep their financial books balanced ahead of another transfer splurge.

Considering Arsenal are ready to back Arteta with another substantial budget for this summer's transfer window .
