The Gunners are preparing for the new season, with only two weeks until their Premier League campaign begins against Manchester United.
However, rumors about a potential trade for Crystal Palace and England forward Eberechi Eze persist following a productive summer in north London. This could depend on a few departures from the club, with conjecture pointing to five first-team players leaving.

Partey was eager to remain in the Champions League, which influenced his decision to join Villarreal, who placed fifth in Spain previous season. The midfielder had been linked with clubs in Europe and the Middle East all season.
According to The Athletic, the former Atletico Madrid player was in talks to stay at the Emirates, but the two sides were unable to agree on terms despite negotiations going to the wire.
According to the Daily Mail, Mikel Arteta’s squad could lose five players before the transfer season closes.
A number of players are expected to leave; Reiss Nelson appears to be the most likely, having attracted the attention of Fulham, and his departure would result in a £100,000 reduction in Arsenal’s weekly pay expenditure.
The Gunners are also open to bids for Oleksandr Zinchenko – pocketing £150,000 a week – while Fabio Vieira has piqued West Ham’s interest but finds himself well down the team’s pecking order. Albert Sambi Lokonga was also deemed surplus to requirements.
