Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is prepared to shed FIVE senior players from his squad this summer.

Football.london says Arteta will oversee a radical overhaul of his Gunners squad.

Shkodran Mustafi and Sokratis Papastathopoulos have both been tipped to move on, with the German very close to leaving the club both last summer and in January.

Left-back Sead Kolasinac is another tipped to leave, with Arteta set to place his trust Kieran Tierney and Bukayo Saka in the position.

Mohamed Elneny and Henrikh Mkhitaryan - currently on loan at Besiktas and Roma respectively - make up the quintet who could be moved on in order to raise transfer funds.
