2. Sell, sell, sell!

Financial Fair Play enforcers will be sniffing around after Arsenal’s early summer spree. Some might be questioning how the Gunners can afford to splurge more than £200m on three players.

The club will have to balance their books somewhat, and this is expected to be the priority for the next couple of weeks. While the club will retain their most valuable assets, they do have a couple of disposable options that could garner rather big fees.

Kieran Tierney could be sold for upwards of £35m, while Folarin Balogun’s value has skyrocketed following a productive loan spell in Ligue 1. Thomas Partey has been linked with a move away also, while the Gunners are expected to earn an impressive £21.5m for Granit Xhaka’s sale to Bayer Leverkusen.

Arsenal must be as efficient selling as they’ve been buying this summer. When it’s all said and done, the club could earn upwards of £100m in sales.
