Arsenal have agreed sale of forgotten star to Premier League side – making a healthy profit: report

Arsenal have agreed another sale, as Mikel Arteta trims his squad ahead of the coming campaign.

The Gunners have spent heavily in the summer, breaking their transfer record for Declan Rice, while adding Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber and David Raya for a combined £200 million. But while there have been big incomings, sales have been harder to come by.

Granit Xhaka has been Arsenal’s headline exit for around £20m to Bayer Leverkusen, with Folarin Balogun about to leave for Monaco for around £35m. Auston Trusty, Matt Turner and Pablo Mari have also left permanently, with Kieran Tierney heading on loan to Real Sociedad.

Arsenal haven’t managed to sell many players at a profit – but they could be about to with a fringe star, as Nuno Tavares leaves for Nottingham Forest.
