Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is reportedly ready to let three attacking players leave the club before the end of the summer, with Turkish giants Galatasaray said to be flying in to London for talks over two of them.
The Gunners have spent big on new signings this summer, bringing in Alexis Sanchez in attack for a fee of around £35m, while defenders Mathieu Debuchy and Calum Chambers have also come in, as well as backup goalkeeper David Ospina.
Still, some members of this Arsenal squad could be on their way out now, with Wenger struggling to fit two of his promising youngsters into the team, while another more senior member of the side looks to have fallen out of favour.
3) Serge Gnabry
The first player looking like leaving, albeit only on a season-long loan, is German youngster Serge Gnabry. The highly-rated winger impressed in limited first-team appearances for Arsenal last season, but now looks set to head out to another Premier League club to gain some valuable experience of playing regularly in this highly competitive league. According to the Daily Mirror, Newcastle United are currently leading the chase for his signature, while there is also strong interest from Crystal Palace and Southampton.
2) Joel Campbell
Next on the way out could be another promising young forward in Joel Campbell, according to the Daily Star. The 22-year-old has spent the last three seasons out on loan in a bid to gain a work permit, and although he has been heavily involved for Arsenal in pre-season, he is seemingly concerned about a potential lack of first-team opportunities at the Emirates Stadium this season, leading to interest from Turkish giants Galatasaray. The clubs could be set to hold talks over the transfer of the versatile attacking player, who caught the eye for his national side Costa Rica at this summer’s World Cup.
1) Lukas Podolski
As part of a double raid on Arsenal, Galatasaray could also try their luck with a move for experienced German forward Lukas Podolski this summer, the Daily Star claims. Podolski was not always first choice for the Gunners last season, and may find first-team opportunities even harder to come by now with the addition of a big name player such as Alexis Sanchez. It is thought that although Arsene Wenger is keen to keep the promising young talent in Joel Campbell, he may be more open to allowing his more senior forward to leave the club for Turkey.
