Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu are on course to continue a recurring theme over the past year of reducing the club's wage bill even further when the summer transfer window opens.
This week football.london have reported on two deals that are expected to go through at the end of the season. The first being midfielder Lucas Torreira turning his loan move at Fiorentina into a permanent one with both teams in negotiations over a potential £13million deal.
Furthermore, Bernd Leno - who lost his status as the Gunners' first-choice goalkeeper to Aaron Ramsdale back in September - is likely to depart this summer too with Bundesliga clubs as well as fellow Premier League side Newcastle United said to be holding a strong interest in the 30-year-old.
