Arteta plans Arsenal clearout - fans favourites on list

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is ready to sell at least four senior players this summer.

The Daily Mail says Arteta is already looking to the future as he plots what to do in the summer, and has earmarked four players he'd be happy to see leave the club.

They are Mesut Ozil, Matteo Guendouzi, Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Ainsley Maitland-Niles.

Ozil is the top earner at the club and could be shifted off the wage bill in order to provide money for new signings, while Guendouzi recently had a public falling out with Arteta and his coaches.

Central defender Sokratis could be surplus to requirements with Pablo Mari expected to be signed permanently in the summer and William Saliba returning from loan, while Maitland-Niles has struggled to hold down a place in the team under Arteta.
