Two players will leave for sure, but there are other candidates for transfers
So far, Arsenal have done everything by the book in terms of the current transfer window. Unlike in recent seasons, when they just accumulated midfielders even though a glaring hole at the striker spot was evident, Mikel Arteta finally found the missing puzzle. Viktor Gyokeres was bought from Sporting Lisbon for 73 million euros and the Gunners have a proper number 9 capable of scoring some goal. They also brought Christian Norgaard, Martin Zubimendi and Valencia defender Cristhian Mosquera, along with Noni Madueke from Chelsea.

With this squad, the Gunners are certainly more equipped for the league title then they were a year ago, but when asked about new signings, Arteta didn’t say that the transfer window was over.
“Let’s see what happens in terms of where the squad is in the next few weeks, but we are actively looking at options. There are a few players that have to leave as well, so we’ll be open to see what happens” said the Spaniard.
It’s not a secret that the Gunners are eyeing Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze but nobody knows if the bid will come and what will be the final price. On the other hand, some players are likely to leave the North London until September 1st. Two players who are first on the departure list are Fabio Vieira and Reiss Nelson. Both players have two more years on their contracts but have not proved to be worth of the first 11 so they will be sold. Stuttgart are aiming at Vieira, while Fulham, well known for taking all Arsenal rejects are looking at option to buy Nelson, or loan him first.
The second echelon of Gunners who could leave the club (but not necessarily) Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli and Jakub Kiwior. Now, Arteta would be quite happy if they are to stay in the club come September 2nd and is not looking actively to sell them, but if a suitable offer comes, all three players will be sold.
