Arsenal managers are ready to give up at least 4 players in January, to secure the necessary funds for Ivan Toney's card. The Brentford striker has become the main target of coach Mikel Arteta, starting from the great need to have more options in the offensive department.
Gabriel Jesus has only started 4 matches in the Premier League as a starter, due to injuries. Meanwhile, Eddie Nketiah has scored 5 times in the championship, but his performances are again far from the level required by coach Arteta. Arsenal are looking for a player similar to Manchester City bomber Erling Haaland who is able to produce consistently in every game. Toney seems like the perfect name, but who are the players who need to leave to make way for him?
Emile Smith Rowe, Aaron Ramsdale, Eddie Nketiah and Thomas Partey are all on the list. Smith Rowe has had a difficult period with injuries, and this has caused the player to lose the confidence of coach Arteta, thereby losing the starting role in midfield. Even after his return in the challenge against Sheffield United, the player again picked up an injury that could keep him out for a few more weeks.
Aaron Ramsdale could also leave, as the England goalkeeper has lost his starting role at Arsenal since the arrival of David Ray. Ramsdale has never expressed his desire to leave, but the goalkeeper has confirmed that he wants to be a starter like all players. If the situation for him does not change, his departure is possible. Meanwhile, Thomas Partey and Eddie Nketiah are among the other names who may leave the Emirates. The latter will be forced to leave if Arsenal bring another striker into the squad, as Nketiah would end up as third choice for coach Arteta.
