Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Selling trio would be smart business for Unai Emery amid Arsenal rebuild

Arsenal have done some great business this year and it looks as though next season might be a good one for the Gunners. 

However, with five new faces joining the club, the Gunners are coming close to maximising the small budget that the club had at the beginning of the window.

It was reported that the Gunners had a budget of less than £100 million this summer and if Emery is to bring in any more players, the club will need to sell before they can buy.

Arsenal could well do with another winger or holding midfielder to add to the squad. So if the Gunners do decide to sell some players, here are three that Emery should consider…

The German defender’s career at Arsenal started so well as he seemed to form a solid partnership with Laurent Koscielny. Since then, however, the Mustafi has become more of a source of mistakes rather than solid defending.

The former Valencia defender has been linked with a move to Juventus this summer and it might well be the time to cash in.

With Rob Holding and Calum Chambers set to have greater roles within Emery’s squad, combined with Sokratis’ arrival, and the hopeful emergence of Mavropanos Mustafi’s game time could we be under threat.

The fullback’s career at Arsenal has never hit the heights that many had hoped when he joined from Charlton Athletic.

Sent out on loan to gain some playing time, Jenkinson dislocated his shoulder 32 minutes into his debut and didn’t return for Birmingham until the end of January. The boyhood Arsenal fan, may not fetch much money but with Hector Bellerin, Stephan Lichsteiner ahead of him, Arsenal should finally cut ties with him.

Entering the final year of his contract with Arsenal, it looks like it might finally be the end for Chuba Akpom.

The academy graduate has never really had a chance to shine in the first-team, and with Eddie Nkektiah ahead of him, any chance of playing seems very unlikely.

He spent part of the year on loan at Belgium side Sint-Truidnese VV but perform well enough to tempt Arsenal into renewing his deal. Much like Jenkinson, Akpom won’t likely command much of a fee but he’s still a player that seemingly doesn’t have a future at the club.
