Arsenal: Assessing whether to keep, sell or loan every squad member

Notable Loanees

Alex Runar Runarsson – SELL – The goalkeeper enjoyed a pretty successful loan spell at OH Leuven, and it’d be a surprise to see him play in an Arsenal shirt again.

Hector Bellerin – SELL – The Spaniard is craving a return to Real Betis, and I think he’ll get his wish if issues over wages are sorted out.

William Saliba – KEEP – Losing Saliba would be nothing short of disastrous. The superb young defender supposedly wants to stay at Marseille and play in the Champions League, while Mikel is keen for the Frenchman to return to Arsenal. In the end, I think the manager will get his wish.

Pablo Mari – SELL – While a deal with Udinese is in doubt, Mari should get a permanent move away this summer with the Gunners potentially snatching £14m from his sale.

Lucas Torreira – SELL – Torreira was brilliant for Fiorentina last season and the club should be able to recoup much of the £26m they spent on him. However, he won’t be joining La Viola.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles – SELL – It’s about time a middle-to-low range Premier League club came in and bought Ainsley for £10m.

Matteo Guendouzi – SELL – This is a banker.

Reiss Nelson – SELL – I don’t see Nelson ever making it at the very highest level and there isn’t much value in another loan. It’s time for the Gunners to cash in.

Folarin Balogun – LOAN – He continues to show promise, but he’s not ready just yet. Another loan to the Championship wouldn’t go amiss.
