‘Sell Xhaka instead’: Arsenal fans react to reports of big summer clearout

Arsenal are reportedly heading for a summer clearout, as the likes of Matteo Guendouzi, Lucas Torreira, and Alexandre Lacazette could all be sold.

According to The Sun, the Gunners are looking at more cost-cutting measures in the summer window. That includes moving a number of fringe players on, as well as some high earners such as Lacazette.

Youngster such as Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Joe Willock, and Eddie Nketiah may also be moved on for the right money. It would mark another big step in Mikel Arteta cutting down his squad and overhauling things at The Emirates.

Here, then, is what some Arsenal supporters had to say in response to the rumours of a summer clearout.

Douzi should stay. We should sell Xhaka instead

No chance we get £25m for them. We didn’t last summer and have been average this season. @rosy316

Guendouzi is way better than Ceballos.

Selling Matteo is a very terrible idea.
