After a busy summer of incomings thus far, it appears that Arsenal are about to accelerate some much-needed player sales to create space in the first-team squad for more signings.
Following the arrivals of Marquinhos, Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko, coupled with the returns of several loanees such as William Saliba, Hector Bellerin, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Lucas Torreira, the Gunners currently have 33 senior players heading into the new season.
With Premier League and Europa League squad registration rules to come into effect at the beginning of September, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu must move players on otherwise, they risk repeating a situation where some high-profile names are left out.
