Mikel Arteta has proven he is not afraid to simply get rid of Arsenal players he has deemed surplus to requirements and could soon do so again this summer.
The Gunners enjoyed a productive window just under 12 months ago when they welcomed the arrivals of players such as Benjamin White, Martin Odegaard, Aaron Ramsdale and Takehiro Tomiyasu - all of whom who have drastically improved the Arsenal first-team.
This time around it could be a window that sees more departures than arrivals, with a few notable players seeing their loan spells elsewhere expire while their Arsenal futures remain up in the air. The likes of Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have already been cut loose by Arteta - there are three standout figures who could meet the same fate.
