Arsenal could be set for a mass exodus during this summer's transfer window as Mikel Arteta looks to raise funds for a number of incomings.
According to The Times, midfielder Granit Xhaka could leave at the end of the current campaign, with the north London outfit also likely to try and sell the likes of Kieran Tierney, Emile Smith Rowe, Folarin Balogun, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Nuno Tavares, Rob Holding, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Cedric Soares. Maitland-Niles' contract at the Emirates Stadium is set to expire this summer whilst the other eight players have a combined value of €130 million (£113 million), as per CIES Football Observatory.
Arteta has made it no secret of his willingness to be ruthless when it comes to refreshing his squad, offloading former captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January 2022 and the club's previous record signing Mesut Ozil 12 months prior. Last week, the Spaniard insisted that his side are far from the finished article, clearly holding his young squad to very high standards.
