Fabio Vieira is poised to return on loan to Porto after struggling for consistent game time at Arsenal, having made only 49 appearances since his transfer.
Arsenal, having agreed on a fee for Mikel Merino, expects midfield competition to rise, leading to Vieira's loan being a strategic move.
The ongoing departures from Arsenal this summer highlight the club's shifting strategy, as several players, including Emile Smith Rowe and Nuno Tavares, are leaving.
Striker Eddie Nketiah is also reportedly nearing a move to Nottingham Forest, which suggests Arsenal's squad overhaul is well underway.
