Nicolas ​Pepe amongst eight players Arsenal looking to sell

Arsenal are hoping to sell up to eight players this summer.

The Gunners want to raise funds to add more of the quality stars that manager Mikel Arteta needs.

According to The Sun, the likes of Nicholas Pepe, Hector Bellerin, Pablo Mari, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Lucas Torreira, Reiss Nelson, Alex Runarsson, and Matt Smith are all on the chopping block.

Arsenal will be hoping they can get permanent offers for most of these players.

Even if each of them only sells for a modest fee, the sums added together could help them secure one or two more incoming signings.

The Gunners have already splashed the cash on Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City this summer, along with Pablo Vieira from FC Porto.
