Much has been made of the low Arsenal transfer budget and how the club will have to sell to top the kitty up but who can we sell realistically?
We already know that we can sell our best players like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Bernd Leno, you do not need a degree in science to work that one out but if we did then it would be footballing suicide.
We also know that there are players that we cannot sell like Mesut Ozil and Henrikh Mkhitaryan and there are players that we would not want to sell like Mattéo Guendouzi and Lucas Torreira.
Now, I am fully aware that Man Utd was reported to be interested in Aubameyang and AC Milan want Torreira but I am focussing on players that are either fringe players or that can be adequately replaced with youth or new signings from the money raised.
Finally, I am not suggesting that we sell all seven either, I am just listing seven players that I believe can be realistically sold and replaced without harming the team itself.
Granit Xhaka
Despite rumours he could actually be named the Arsenal captain next season he has been with us for three years and never really excelled. Atletico Madrid apparently wants him.
Alex Iwobi
Would probably have to be sold fairly cheaply, he is no longer a kid as is being portrayed and is basically a fringe player.
Laurent Koscielny
Too old and slow for us now, been a great servant but Lyon wants him and best for all concerned that he departs.
Nacho Monreal
Another aged player that will not get any better and there are Spanish clubs interested.
Carl Jenkinson
The classic fringe player and West Brom are said to be keen on him.
Shkodran Mustafi
Lost the fans and hard to see how he can turn that around, best for him and the club that he goes, even cheaply.
Mohamed Elneny
Another fringe player that has failed to make the grade and there have been rumours that Fenerbache would be interested at the right price.
No idea how much those players would fetch but they serve no real purpose anymore and are surplus to requirements, priced competitively all seven are very viable sales in my opinion.
