"Arsenal are said to be 'counting the cost' of their £268m spent last summer and 'must sell at least one first-team player' this summer, with 'discussions around who would yield the most lucrative sale' already underway."
"Odegaard, Martinelli, Ben White, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly are the 'five candidates' to be sold in the summer as the north London side looks to balance the books."
"Arteta retains 'full faith' in Odegaard and is keen for him to remain at the club, while the experienced midfielder is 'happy' and is pushing for a new contract."
Arsenal faces financial pressure to conduct a significant sale in the upcoming transfer window following their substantial £268m investment in signings last summer. The club must offload at least one first-team player to manage their spending and prevent becoming the Premier League's highest net spenders over five years. Five players have been identified as potential candidates for sale: Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli, Ben White, Ethan Nwaneri, and Myles Lewis-Skelly. These players have either lost importance this season or represent valuable assets that could generate substantial revenue. Despite speculation about Odegaard's future, Mikel Arteta retains full confidence in the captain and wants him to stay, with Odegaard reportedly happy and open to signing a new contract.
