With Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber set to join, Arsenal are now turning their focus towards securing transfers for players not in Mikel Arteta’s plans.
Folarin Balogun, Nicolas Pepe, Nuno Tavares, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Cedric Soares are all available.
There is huge interest in Balogun from clubs around Europe – including AC Milan, Marseille and Monaco – but no official offers have been submitted for the striker, who Arsenal value at £50m.
There is also interest among European clubs in Thomas Partey, who has two years remaining on his contract.
Arsenal have not ruled out returning to the market should they generate enough money from sales.
The club have been looking at strengthening their right-sided attacking options throughout the last few windows, while recruiting another midfielder has not been ruled out should Partey leave.
