Arsenal are considering player exits as well as incomings.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is likely to sanction one ‘significant’ player transfer out of the club this summer, The Telegraph report.
Wenger has started his summer transfer business early, signing Granit Xhaka from Borussia Moenchengladbach, and hoping to conclude the addition of Jamie Vardy from Leicester City.
A new determined approach in the transfer market mean cutting ties with players who should be moved on, and The Telegraph report there are three prime candidates to be sold.

The three players named as most likely to be sold are Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Kieran Gibbs.
The trio each had disappointing seasons, struggling with injuries and failing to hold down regular starting spots in the first team.
Each began the campaign in the England squad, and had hoped to play key roles at Euro 2016, but their lacklustre seasons for Arsenal meant they were snubbed by Three Lions boss Roy Hodgson.
That itself should provide a wake up call for each of the players, and while they may want to stick it out and prove a point at Arsenal, the club are claimed to be getting ready to be ruthless by selling at least one this summer.
Which player should Arsenal sell? Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, or Gibbs?
