How Arsenal must overhaul squad: Who Gunners should keep and sell ahead of big transfer year
Share:
Arsenal head into an important January transfer window as they look to keep pace with Premier League leaders Liverpool. The Gunners also face a vital summer after that, with the club keen to kick on under Mikel Arteta. Arsenal will look to raise funds by selling unwanted players as they look to make space in their squad.
Here, Standard Sport assesses who they should keep, offload or might be stuck with. David Raya. Arsenal’s No1 and one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League. His shaky start last season is a distant memory. Needs competition and cover. KEEP. Neto. Signed on loan from Bournemouth but yet to make his debut as cup-tied in the Carabao Cup. Jury still out, but Arsenal will likely look elsewhere for a No2. LET GO AT END OF LOAN.
Tommy Setford. Signed in the summer from Ajax, the 18-year-old made his debut in October at Preston in the Carabao Cup. Tipped for a big future. KEEP. Ben White. One of Arsenal’s most consistent performers and among the best right-backs in the Premier League. Provides cover at centre-back, too. KEEP.
Gabriel. Formed a strong partnership with William Saliba and a real threat from set-pieces in attack. Deserves a new contract to underline his importance to Arsenal. KEEP. Jakub Kiwior. A big offer would make it tempting to sell, but he offers cover at centre-back and full-back. Keep him for one more season. KEEP.
