Arsenal are willing to sanction a further eight exits after Granit Xhaka seals his move to Bayer Leverkusen football.london understands.
As football.london reported exclusively on Monday, the Swiss international is close to securing a €25million transfer to Xabi Alonso's side in the coming days. While the two deals are not necessarily thought to be related, it is thought that he will be given the green light to complete the move once Declan Rice completes his club-record £105million transfer from West Ham.
Rice will be Arsenal's second signing of the summer after Kai Havertz joined from Chelsea last month. Positive talks also continue with Jurrien Timber as the Gunners seek to bring in the bulk of their squad before they head off the United States for their preseason tour on July 16th. Having been pretty successful in the incomings department so far though, Edu is keen to make sure Arsenal seal significant outgoings this summer too.
