Arsenal are already planning to sell two big names in January
Arsenal will consider the sales of striker Gabriel Jesus and versatile attacker Leandro Trossard in January, sources have told Football Insider.
It has been a huge summer of investment for the North London side, which has left both players out of favour.
Jesus is working his way back to fitness after an ACL tear at the beginning of this year, and is expected to be behind both Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz in the pecking order when everyone is fully fit.
Sources say that Trossard could also struggle for game time this season, and will be set for a move away from the Emirates if not utilised.
Arsenal set for changing of the guard
Both Jesus and Trossard represent an era of Arsenal teams that got close to Premier League glory, but came up short each time.
While the blame is clearly not attributed solely to them, perhaps Mikel Arteta is eager to bring through a new crop of players who are yet to experience the feeling of being so near, yet so far.
Since the pair arrived in North London, Jesus in the summer of 2022 and Trossard six months later, Arsenal have finished second in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons.
If the Gunners are to take that final step and topple one of Manchester City or Liverpool, then the likes of Eberechi Eze, Noni Madueke, and Gyokeres may be preferred.
Arsenal owner sees huge increase in fortune
Meanwhile, Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke has seen his fortune increase by more than £1.8billion over the past year, sources have told Football Insider.
Kroenke hasn’t always been a popular figure among Arsenal fans, with many questioning his intentions since investing in the club in 2007.
The American billionaire increased his shareholding over several years before buying the Gunners outright in 2018.
Bloomberg’s Billionaire Index has revealed Kroenke has seen his personal wealth surge by £1.85bn over the past year, up to £17.28bn, making him the 102nd richest person in the world.
