According to the UK Sun, Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, is willing to let at least seven players depart the team this summer.
Nicolas Pepe, a record signing for the Arsenal, will go first in line.
In a £72 million agreement, Pepe moved from Lille to the Emirates in 2019. Only 16 goals have been scored by the Ivorian winger in 80 league games for the team.
He is on loan at Nice for the current campaign.
Seven players are now on loan and could be cut permanently, including Pepe.
The other three are Premier League players Albert Sambi Lokonga, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, and Cedric Soares.
Nuno Tavares plays for Marseille while Alex Runarsson plays for Alanyaspor and Pablo Mari plays for Monza in Italy.
Whenever those contracts expire, all of the players can find themselves searching for new teams.
