Very active on the transfer market this summer, Arsenal now possess a complete squad. But after spending massively, the Gunners want to replenish the coffers and are pushing three players towards the exit ahead of the winter transfer window.
During the summer transfer window, Arsenal spent nearly £256.4m. Whether defence, midfield or attack, all sectors have been strengthened. The English club now have significant squad depth, unlike last season where injuries impacted results in the final sprint in the Premier League and Champions League.
However, Arsenal must also be careful with their spending. Manchester City and Chelsea are monitored by financial fair play, which could also be the case for the current Premier League leaders if rules are not respected. According to information from TBR Football, the English club are open to departures of Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus but also Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Arsenal targeting 3 sales for £75m
Obviously, each case is different, but Arsenal seem to want to turn the page with three of their former key players. Gabriel Jesus is frequently injured and Viktor Gyokeres arrived this summer to hold the striker role. The Brazilian clearly no longer has his place in London. Concerning the Ukrainian full-back, he occupies an understudy status but is playing less and less. Selling him would allow them to save his significant salary.
Finally, for Leandro Trossard, it is a surprising decision because if the Belgian striker is not always a starter, he often shows himself to be decisive despite reduced playing time. But Mikel Arteta evidently wishes to place trust in the new recruits. The sale of these three players could bring in at least £64.1m during the winter transfer window, enough to greatly relieve Arsenal's accounts.
