According to The Sun, Arsenal are willing to listen to offers for Mesut Ozil and Shkodran Mustafi during the January transfer window.

The report suggests that the main emphasis for January will be getting players out as opposed to signing new ones.

It is believed that the hierarchy feels there is enough talent within the squad.

Nicolas Pepe led a glut of new summer signings. Dani Ceballos, Kieran Tierney and David Luiz were also signed.

Ozil earns a staggering £350,000-a-week and Mustafi collects £90,000-a-week from the football club (Spotrac).

Both have flattered to deceive this season and it would significantly enhance the wage bill if both were offloaded.

It hasn’t come as a real surprise to the club’s supporters that Ozil and Mustafi could lead a host of departures.

Many Arsenal supporters will feel that both have outstayed their welcome by several months.

Both have sizeable salaries and that could cause a problem. The January transfer window is typically a difficult period for buying clubs and it will be interesting to see how desperate Arsenal are to offload the duo.

Following the latest reports, several Gunners have taken to Twitter. None are too disgruntled at the news and would prefer they were sold sooner rather than later.

Here is a selection of tweets from the club’s supporters:
