Arsenal transfer news: The Arsenal chief has a number of squad players who the Gunners can now readily cash in on
Plans for the summer transfer window are already in place at Arsenal. The window of opportunity for the Gunners to ignite themselves as one of England's top sides could not be greater after such an impressive 2022/23 campaign.
"Of course, we're happy to be in the moment we are now, but we have to understand there are still things to go to keep going."
With that being said, football.london looks at seven deals the Gunners can complete at the end of the season to raise the available transfer budget.
Nicolas Pepe
Pepe, who is valued at £19.2m by transfermarkt, has missed the previous eight Ligue 1 fixtures after suffering from 'tendonitis' in his knee. A return to action before the end of the season could provide an opportunity to earn a move elsewhere.
Nuno Tavares
The left-back, valued at £15.7m, has scored six goals for the Ligue 1 title chasers and has only missed five league games this season. With his current deal with Arsenal not due to expire until 2025, Edu has room to negotiate a good price with a potential suitor.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles
It's wild to imagine Maitland-Niles leaving Arsenal for such a little fee after bursting onto the scene five years ago. The versatile Hale End graduate is only valued at £6.9m by transfermarkt after rather unimpressive loan spells with West Brom, AS Roma and Southampton.
Following the sacking of Nathan Jones at St Mary's, the 25-year-old has retained his place at right-back under Ruben Selles. However, he hasn't produced the levels once on display in 2020 and is an option to sell in the summer.
Arsenal exercised the option to extend his stay by a further 12 months last year so this summer is their last chance in recouping any sort of transfer fee. According to Sportrac, he earns around £52,000-per-week - reportedly more than Gabriel Magalhaes, Trossard and William Saliba.
Pablo Mari
And at the time of writing, they sit 14 points ahead of Verone in the final relegation spot with 12 games remaining. Mari has been a regular in Raffaele Palladino's defensive line this season and is on course to make a return to Europe.
Cedric Soares
Arsenal currently have a number of full-backs at their disposal that are either surplus to requirements or don't fit into Arteta's tactical vision. Cedric, unfortunately, is placed in the former category having fallen behind Ben White and Tomiyasu.
Auston Trusty
With Gabriel and Saliba ahead of him, Kiwior's arrival in the winter has meant a route to the first-team seems further ahead than ever. He may even be best suited for a club looking to achieve promotion to the Premier League next season, considering Birmingham's financial woes.
Runar Alex Runarsson
Arsenal's journey as one of the Premier League's best teams has meant that many of Arteta's first signings are no longer at the level required. Aaron Ramsdale has already declared his desire to be a club legend while Matt Turner has impressed as deputy to the England international when called upon.
Like many on this list, when his loan spell in Turkey comes to an end he will have just one year on his deal in north London. Edu has recently strengthened his ability to complete good sales but inheriting any of the £1.8m they paid Dijon for in 2020.
