Arsenal could be on the verge of a summer of change in which Mesut Ozil, Shkodran Mustafi and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are the high earning big name stars tipped to be shown the door.
It has been well established in recent weeks that the Gunners would have just a £40m transfer budget this summer unless they qualified for the Champions League. And, after falling apart in the Premier League and being thrashed in the Europa League final, that won't happen.
It likely means a summer of cuts and raising funds if manager Unai Emery and head of football Raul Sanllehi are to build a new squad capable of challenging for the top four, previously the hallmark of former boss Arsene Wenger, next season.
