6 & 7. Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah

With every passing day, the price tags Arsenal placed on Lacazette and Nketiah shrink by a few hundred thousand.

Come August 31, they’ll be available for £4m. Probably.

What is hugely concerning with both Lacazette and Nketiah is that with the inevitability of any potential sales going to take place at the 11th, Arsenal will then be stuck in a position where they not only don’t have time to sign a replacement, but also may have to shun said interest given selling both would leave them with only Aubamayeng and Balogun.

These are an example of how perilous the situation is when selling players is left until the very latter stages of the window.

Next. Arsenal want Auba sale. dark

Arsenal simply haven’t been able to move anywhere near the volume of players on yet and in the case of Lacazette and Nketiah, every day more they stay is one day less to find a replacement.
