​Arsene Wenger is preparing for a major summer exodus at the club this summer, with nine first team players reportedly set to be cashed in on, as per ​Squawka.





Following a disappointing end to the season, where the club have quickly fallen away from title winning contention, Wenger looks likely to ring the changes and part ways with a number of fringe and ageing players, possibly paving the way for more talented personnel to come in.

Among the players reportedly being prepared for a transfer away from the Emirates include Per Mertesacker, Theo Walcott, Mikel Arteta, Tomas Rosicky, Mathieu Flamini, Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain, Mathieu Debuchy, Kieran Gibbs, and either Woijech Szczezny or David Ospina.





There may be some surprises in their for Gunners fans, with Per Mertesacker currently out of the first team fold but a World Cup winner with Germany provides Arsenal with plenty of experience and pedigree.

Meanwhile, the departure of Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain would be disappointing for many, with the player showing plenty of promise since his switch from Southampton.





Others would possibly agree that t he remaining players mentioned could realistically be sold, due to falling out of favour, so long as as much money as possible is reinvested in the playing squad.

It's believed Wenger will generate as much as £80m if transfers can be agreed for said players.
