Arteta plans to cut seven players to fund summer signings at Arsenal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta plans to cut up to seven players from the squad to fund new signings for the summer. This comes as the team struggles for consistency and faces the possibility of another season without trophies. Key players like Raheem Sterling and Neto will not return after their loans end. Thomas Partey, Jorginho, and Kieran Tierney are set to leave as free agents, while Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jakub Kiwior are also expected to be sold. Arteta aims to strengthen multiple positions, targeting players like Benjamin Sesko and Martin Zubimendi. Real Madrid is reportedly competing for Zubimendi, while Arsenal is in talks to sign midfielder Hugo Larsson.
