3. Hector Bellerin & 4. Cedric Soares

Contract expiry: 2023 & 2024
Realistic transfer fee: £18-20m & £1m
Interested clubs: Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, Inter, Real Betis & Nobody

Across the squad there are few players up for sale that will garner as much income as Hector Bellerin, who the Gunners are ideally hoping to earn around £20m for.

What is positive on the Bellerin front is that there is plenty of interest.

Already he’s been linked with a big handful of players across the continent, with the usual suspects of Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Barcelona seemingly no longer in the frame.

That can be indicative of his form over the past year, where he’s struggled to recapture his pre-ACL levels and has become an unfair scapegoat by supporters for much of last season. While he looks a shadow of his former self, much of the criticism has been unwarranted and he’s put in some strong performances here and there.

It is time for a change though, both for player and club.

The latest side to show an interest is Inter, who appear resigned to losing Achraf Hakimi this summer and if they continue to adopt Antonio Conte’s 3-5-3 system under Simone Inzaghi, Bellerin would be a perfect fit for the wing-back role.

As for Cedric, shifting him will be near impossible. No club will take his wages on or pay a fee for him, not least after seeing him fall so drastically out of favour at a side struggling all season.

Work will be done to try and make it happen, and getting Kia Joorabchian out would be ideal, but it’s unlikely.
