Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly are among the players that could leave Arsenal this summer.
Following the record spend last year, outgoings are expected, both to ensure the club remains financially sustainable, and to comply with the Premier League new squad cost ratio rules.
And funds are also required to boost the squad with more additions, although unlikely to the same extent as last year.
Although both Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly signed new long-term contracts at the start of last season, both have struggled to make any impact this campaign. Nwaneri is currently on loan in France with Marseille, where he has struggled for game time, and Lewis-Skelly finds himself third-choice left-back behind Riccardo Califiori and Piero Hincapié.
Nwaneri is reported to be a target for Borussia Dortmund, and there are various other Premier League clubs monitoring his situation, and that of Lewis-Skelly.
From a financial viewpoint selling the pair has its attractions as well. Because they are academy graduates, any fee received will count as pure profit.
