Arsenal look set to fund another big summer of spending as departures for three first-team players edge closer to completion.

The Gunners continued their meteoric rise under Mikel Arteta this summer with a £200 million haul of Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber, helping them close the gap to Manchester City to just two points by the end of the season.

With a title now in their grasp, the Gunners are widely expected to further bolster their ranks this summer, with an elite striker thought to be top of the shortlist.

Arsenal's summer clear out

According to TEAMtalk, Saudi Arabian clubs are beginning to close in on midfielder Thomas Partey, who has fallen out of favour at the Emirates following Declan Rice's arrival.

The Ghanaian could command a fee of up to £25 million this summer as Arsenal look to shift his estimated £200,000 per week wage from the books.

Once a key player for Arteta, injuries and refining of tactical direction have forced Partey down the pecking order, with the former Atletico Madrid midfielder making just 16 appearances in all competitions in 2023/24.

Elsewhere, academy graduates Emile Smith-Rowe and Reiss Nelson both look set to depart this summer after failing to cement their spot in Arteta's starting line-up.

Football Insider claim that the pair are attracting interest and could fetch an extra £50m to be reinvested before the start of next season.

Fulham and West Ham are believed to be interested in the duo, who both have a number of years on their respective contracts, allowing Arsenal to inflate their asking price.
