Arsenal chiefs Arteta and Edu prepared to oversee 11 senior players depart | OneFootball

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu are ready to perform a massive summer clearout.

Football.London says as many as 11 first-team players could be on the way out.

The first to leave will be Lucas Torreira turning his loan move at Fiorentina into a permanent one. Bernd Leno - who lost his status as the Gunners' first-choice goalkeeper to Aaron Ramsdale back in September - is likely to depart this summer too with Bundesliga clubs as well as fellow Premier League side Newcastle United said to be holding a strong interest in the 30-year-old.

Hector Bellerin, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Alex Runarsson and Pablo Mari are all set to move on, with Alexandre Lacazette, Mohamed Elneny and Eddie Nketiah to leave when their contracts expire at the end of June.

There is also Matteo Guendouzi and Kosta Mavropanos who are set to join Marseille and Stuttgart respectively at the end of the season following successful loan spells.
