  • Arsenal are keen to part ways with at least four players this summer
  • Nicolas Pepe tops the list of players who could be sold to help raise funds for new signings
  • The Gunners have made four signings so far, with Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Jurrien Timber joining the club

Arsenal are reportedly ready to offload up to four players to fund the transfer of summer targets.

The Gunners have been active in the ongoing summer transfer window, with the north Londoners keen to challenge Man City for the crown yet again.

Mikel Arteta's charges came close to winning the Premier League title last season for the first time in almost two decades but were beaten to it by City.

The Emirates dwellers have since embarked on strengthening their squad, having already made four major signings.

Declan Rice and Kai Havertz are the big signings the club have made, alongside Jurrien Timber, who joined from Ajax.

However, Sportbible reports that Arteta is keen to reinforce his squad further before the summer transfer window shuts.

Arsenal to sell 4 players

But such a move would see Arsenal push to offload at least four players to raise funds and make room for new arrivals.

According to Football Insider, Arteta is preparing for some players to go in the opposite direction.

Nicolas Pepe headlines the list of players who could be offloaded, having fallen out of favour at the Emirates Stadium.

Pepe spent last season on loan in the Ligue 1, but the Gunners are keen to cash in on him this summer.

Rob Holding, Nuno Tavares, and Kieran Tierney are the other three players who have been earmarked for sale.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Arsenal are up and running in the Premier League and showed early signs of being a formidable force this season with an impressive showing against Nottingham Forest.

The Gunners came up against Forest at the Emirates, but the early kick off had to be delayed due to errors in Arsenal's new electronic ticketing.

When the game finally got underway, Mikel Arteta’s side typically dominated proceedings but were unable to break down a stubborn Nottingham Forest initially.
