In a sense of a massive summer clear out, Arsenal fans can expect to see 12 players leaving the side after the 2018/19 season.
Unai Emery has brought in 6 players so far and all of them except Denis Suarez has been impactful for the Gunners.
However, the Spanish boss is expected to find himself in short of cash to sign the players he really want. He would have to work out a way to raise the necessary funds while also trimming some of the fat.
Stephan Lichtsteiner’s time seems to be done at North London. While he did start off on a promising note after his free switch from Juventus, the Swiss fullback has lost his starting berth to Ainsley Maitland-Niles.
Petr Cech is due to retire and Aaron Ramsey is bound to leave for Juventus. One of the players who can follow in the Welshman’s shoes is Nacho Monreal. The left-back is getting strongly linked with Barcelona as their backup to Jordi Alba.
Danny Welbeck and Carl Jenkinson are in the final few months of their contracts and unlikely to be recalled for longer. David Ospina could very well be on his way to Napoli as per reports.
Calum Chambers has impressed during his time with Fulham sparking interest from potential suitors. His new defensive midfield role might not have a spot in Emery’s side and he is still a wildcard as a centre-half.
Takuma Asano, Arsenal’s £3.6m investment has proven to be a bust. He could be shipped out for a loss if Hannover refuse to sign him permanently.
Mohamed Elneny has struggled for game time ever since Emery came into the Emirates. While he does fit the mold of a perfect backup midfielder, the player might want to shift out of the club. And lastly, the person who should be at the very top of this list is Shkodran Mustafi. Arsenal fans cannot wait to see the German head for the exit doors.
