Kieran Tierney and Albert Sambi Lokonga are usually not in Arteta's plans. Tierney has been linked with Newcastle and Real Sociedad, whereas Brighton are eager on Lokonga after talks with Burnley fell by.

Cedric Soares, Rob Holding, Nicolas Pepe and Nuno Tavares all might go too. Of the eight gamers Arsenal might promote, solely Gabriel has been named in a Premier League match-day squad this season.

But whereas Edu makes an attempt to promote, Arteta continues to be open to purchasing. The Mail says Arsenal might enter the market to signal a defender or a right-sided winger.

Arsenal misplaced £38m signing Jurrien Timber to a severe knee damage earlier this month which is able to rule him out for a lot of the season. Meanwhile, a winger might be sought to offer assist to Bukayo Saka after he featured in his club-record 82nd straight Premier League match on Monday.
