Mikel Arteta continues to move on from the previous regime at Arsenal with a quartet of players, signed before his arrival, set to be sold at the Emirates on this summer
Pepe has never been able to justify his huge fee and spent last season on loan at Nice in Ligue 1. He was unable to find his form once more and Arsenal are looking for buyers. Tierney meanwhile has fallen down the pecking order and is seeking more minutes, potentially at Newcastle.
Arteta is looking to further bolster his young squad, which remains extremely thin. That lack of depth cost them in the final weeks of the season and, with Champions League football returning to the Emirates, more players will be required if they are to compete on several fronts.
The Gunners ran out of steam in the Premier League and made few inroads in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup. Nevertheless they remain an attractive outfit with Declan Rice thought to favour a move to the club with his future at West Ham set to end.
Brighton’s Moises Caicedo has been on their radar in January and they could return with a fresh offer despite the player signing a new deal recently. Ilkay Gundogan is also being linked with his Manchester City future unclear as his contract winds down.
