Mikel Arteta will want Arsenal to splash the cash in the summer once again even if the Gunners end up top of the Premier League table – but they may have to sell to buy, with Financial Fairplay an issue.

Reports claim that a number of players could be made available in order for Arsenal to spend and avoid breaking Profit and Sustainability Rules. Eddie Nketiah is being touted as a possible casualty this summer.

Brighton want Reiss Nelson. Fringe players are being linked with the exit door and that will allow Arsenal to go into the market and spend on potential incomings. A striker is top of the list, in the coming months.

Aaron Ramsdale could be sold for Financial Fairplay reasons

Aaron Ramsdale is another fringe player that could be sold to ease Financial Fairplay concerns. He is still second choice behind David Raya and for a goalkeeper of his quality, he cannot be a back-up stopper.

Eddie Howe is keen on luring England star Ramsdale to Tyneside in the summer. Indeed, reports claim the goalkeeper is open to a move to Newcastle – who could look to replace Nick Pope and Martin Dubravka.

Arsenal won’t want to lose Ramsdale but they’ve got to think of his career, and the cash he would bring in from a Financial Fairplay viewpoint. They could use Newcastle’s interest in Ramsdale to their advantage.

Swap deal suits as Newcastle eye Ramsdale and Arsenal want Isak

One of the strikers Arteta would like at Arsenal is £100m-rated Alexander Isak. The Swedish ace is on fire at the moment, starring for The Toon in the Premier League. Arsenal are keen on raiding Isak’s Newcastle.

Newcastle will be reluctant to sell arguably their best player, even if The Toon do receive £100m bids for Isak. However, if Arsenal include a target of Newcastle, in the likes of Ramsdale, it might tempt them.

Isak will be keen on a move to Arsenal and Ramsdale is interested in joining Newcastle. So, it is all about doing a deal that suits all. Arsenal would save cash, and Newcastle would get a solid fee and Ramsdale.
