Arsenal are planning to offload as many as seven first team players in the summer. The Gunners want to clear up the wages and generate transfer fund for some top acquisitions in the transfer window.

Arsenal currently are sitting at the top of the Premier League table. With 10 games to go, the North London club have an 8-point lead over Manchester City, and are aiming to win their first league title in 19 years.

As they push for a title bid, their return to the UEFA Champions League is almost a surity. And to prepare for the elite competition next year, they do need to make some additions to the squad and bolster their side.

Arsenal are already linked with some top players for a potential summer move, and to allow that, they will have to sell some of the current roster. And according to reports, they are willing to let go of seven names to accommodate signings in the coming window.

List of players Arsenal want to sell in the summer

Here is the list of Arsenal players who are poised to leave the club in the summer-

Cedric Soares

Arsenal are willing to let go of the right-back Cedric Soares. The Portugal international hasn't got going at the club and is currently on loan at Fulham. It looks certain the player will leave next summer.

Nicolas Pepe

Arsenal's 72 million pound record-signing has been an underwhelming one for them. Since his move in 2019, Pepe has scored only 27 goals in 112 Arsenal appearances. He is currently on loan at French club OGC Nice.

Arsenal are keen to offload Pepe and recoup some of the amount they paid for the Ivorian.

Albert Sambi Lokonga

Albert Sambi Lokonga joined in 2021 from Anderlecht, and the midfielder has been mostly a squad player. The Belgium international currently on loan at Crystal Palace. Although just 23, Lokonga may be offloaded if the North London club get a decent offer for him.

Alex Runarsson

Arsenal's Icelandic keeper has spent mostly on loan since joining the club in 2020. Runarsson made some horrific errors for Arsenal in some of the matches and since has been loaned to OH Leuven, and currently playing for Turkish club Alanyaspor.

The 28-year-old is not at the level of Arsenal yet and will be offloaded in the summer.

Nuno Tavares

Nuno Tavares is also poised to be sold by Arsenal. The Portuguese is having a stellar season on loan at Marseille and the Gunners may cash in on him. Although there is a possibility he may stay if Kieran Tierney decides to leave the club.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles

It just hasn't happened for Ainsley Maitland-Niles at the club and he is prepared to leave this summer. Maitland-Niles is currently on loan at Southampton and has racked up some impressive performances. There will be suitors for him in the summer and the Gunners will be happy to move him on.

Pablo Mari

Pablo Mari had never settled at Arsenal and is currently on loan at Italian side AC Monza. There is a deal inserted in his clause of Mari's permanent move to Monza if the club survives Seria A this season.

Monza are currently 13th in the Serie A table and 15 points clear of relegation with just 11 games to play. Hence the Spaniard surely looks like staying in Italy, permanently.
