Now, with the renewed staff and the clock at zero, the Emirates does not put a ceiling. But first, Edu, a club legend and now sports director, will have to release many players before the end of the transfer market. From the British tabloid The Sunset this figure at 8 players.
Arsenal’s 8 discards
With a month remaining before the end of the summer window, Arsenal will have to work hard on their exit operation. Footballers like Nicolás Pépé, the most expensive signing in the club’s history, or Héctor Bellerín, on loan to Betis last season, will be difficult players to move due to his high salaries.
Other players like Pablo Marí or Lucas Torreira have more market, either in a loan or a permanent transfer. Arsenal will also have to release secondary players, such as Ainsley Maitland-Niles, on loan to Roma in January 2022, Matt Smith, Alex Runarsson or Reiss Nelson.
