'Nicolas Pepe to Everton for £72m confirmed' as surprise Arsenal deal is proposed after takeover

Of the senior players expected to leave Arsenal at some point during the summer transfer window, it can be argued that the toughest task facing Edu Gaspar is getting a fee for Nicolas Pepe.

With Pablo Mari's £5.9 million permanent move to Monza in place and Granit Xhaka in advanced talks with Bayer Leverkusen over a £13m switch, the Gunners' sporting director has already taken steps towards potentially making at least £100m through player sales.

That aforementioned figure does become somewhat of a realistic target when factoring in that Folarin Balogun and Kieran Tierney have both been tipped to leave this summer in search of regular first-team football next season, while Thomas Partey is said to be attracting interest from Juventus as well as a host of clubs in Saudi Arabia.
