Arsenal are planning to offload as many as seven senior players this summer.
After a disappointing Premier League campaign which has left them clinging on to a spot in the top-half, the Gunners are expected to be active in the market.
But with several members of manager Mikel Arteta’s squad not up to the standards required, an exodus could be on the cards as the Spaniard seeks to rebuild his team.
The Athletic reports they expect to be able to raise a significant amount of funds through the departures of seven players.
They claim that David Luiz, Dani Ceballos, Mat Ryan, Hector Bellerin, Reiss Nelson, Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi are all heading for the Arsenal exit door.
Luiz has been one of Arteta’s more reliable options at the back, though he has failed to make the last six matchday squads.
The Brazilian’s contract expires in June and with Rob Holding, Pablo Mari, and Gabriel ahead of him in the pecking order, he is unlikely to be given a new deal.
Meanwhile, Ceballos and Ryan will return to their parent clubs of Real Madrid and Brighton upon the end of their loan deals, saving Arsenal money in wages.
Bellerin has fallen out of favour under Arteta, with Calum Chambers taking his spot as the first choice right-back.
