Following the arrival of five signings so far this summer, Arsenal are now in a position where offloading players is just as important, if not more so, especially if further incomings are to be targeted.
The new additions, along with the return of several loanees, have seen Mikel Arteta's squad become bloated and it means that some players will receive very limited game time next season. It's a scenario which the Spaniard wants to resolve as soon as possible after confirming the process to move individuals on would begin imminently.
"We have a large squad so we have to make some decisions as well on the players that we're not going to be using consistently and be fair and straight with them and that's a process that is going to start very soon as well," he explained. "We have to (offload). We have a big squad and now we have to make things happen."
