Arsenal 'put six players up for sale'

Arsenal are reportedly planning to sell up to six first-team players before the transfer window slams shut on August 31.

The Gunners have spent around £135m on new recruits so far this summer, with Martin Odegaard and Aaron Ramsdale their latest additions from Real Madrid and Sheffield United respectively.

Mikel Arteta's side are now looking to generate funds from player sales to balance their books, and according to The Mirror, the north London club are prepared to let as many as six players leave within the final two weeks of the window.

Joe Willock, who made his loan move to Newcastle United permanent earlier this month, is the only major departure from the Emirates so far this summer, while David Luiz was released and William Saliba and Matteo Guendouzi have joined Marseille on loan.

It is understood that Willian, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Eddie Nketiah, Lucas Torreira, Reiss Nelson and Sead Kolasinac are the players who could be heading for the exit door.

Hector Bellerin is another player who has been linked with a summer departure, with Barcelona and Inter Milan said to be keen on a move for the right-back.
