Arsenal are ready to offload a player that Mikel Arteta previously claimed was a part of his plans.
The Gunners began their season with a 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest but looked far from comfortable in the closing stages of the game after the Reds came back into the game via a Taiwo Awoniyi goal on the break. Arsenal picked up what looked like a bad knock to Jurrien Timber, too, with the Dutchman forced off clutching his knee.
