Mikel Arteta seems to be preparing for a massive clear out at Premier League club Arsenal as reports claim the Gunners boss has prepared an eight-man list of stars to leave the squad. UK outlet Independent are claiming that the tactician wants no fewer than eight players to be axed during the January transfer window.
It was gathered that Arteta understands the financial situation at the club and will do everything to reduce the wage bill drastically as they will also attempt to bring in new players.
Mesut Ozil is believed to be on the list, as the German is yet to make an appearance for the club since March 2020 due to a fallout with the tactician.
Ozil, though, is not the only Arsenal player on the club’s axe-list, as the likes of Shkodran Mustafi, Mohamed Elneny, Reiss Nelson, Callum Chambers, Folarin Balogun, Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Joe Willock are also believed to be seen as dispensable.

Nelson and Willock, though, might only be loaned out rather than sold, while the others are set to leave on permanent deals.
