The Gunners are looking to move players on to help fund deals for Houssem Aouar and Thomas Partey – but don’t want to lose their England youngster
Arsenal are stepping up their attempts to move players out before Monday’s transfer deadline, although sources at the club have dismissed reports linking Ainsley Maitland-Niles with Manchester United as ‘pure speculation’.
The Gunners are well aware of the need to get some players out in the coming days, with several members of the first-team squad currently in talks over a potential move away.
Sead Kolasinac, Lucas Torreira, Sokratis and Shkodran Mustafi are all free to leave before Monday’s 5pm deadline as Arsenal look to bring in some much-needed funds to help them in their pursuits of Houssem Aouar and Thomas Partey.
