Nuno Tavares and Marquinhos have been sold to Lazio and Cruzeiro respectively, while Jorginho, Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey have been released. An agreement was also reached to end the Takehiro Tomiyasu deal a year earlier.
Much more income and expenses are expected before the transfer window closes and mirror football has taken a look at all the latest news and rumors from in and around the Emirates …
Real Madrid Star Eyed
According to Football Espana, Arsenal are among the clubs that are interested in Real Madrid star Brahim Diaz.
It is claimed that Real Madrid is open to the sale of Diaz this summer, where the new manager Xabi Alonso informs the player that he would only have a 'secondary role' next season if he would stay with the Bernabeu.
The report states that Arsenal, AC Milan and Fenerbahce all weigh a movement for the 24-year-old, while the Saudi pro competition Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal and NEOM SC would like to pay to pay around € 40 million (£ 35 million) for Diaz.
Worries arise
Arsenal has been warned that the interest of Liverpool in Marc Guehi could stimulate their move for Ebereechi Eze.
Arsenal is expected to take a step for Eze as soon as they have developed some players, with the English International reporting a switch to the Emirates. Liverpool, however, is interested in Eze's Crystal Palace teammate Guehi and that can make the situation more difficult.
It is unlikely that Palace will punish the outputs of two important players this summer, although Liverpool is currently focused on their attempts to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle.
Norgaard Judgment
Tottenham -Baas Thomas Frank supported Christian Norgaard as a success at Arsenal, after he had managed the midfielder at both Brentford and Brondby.
When he was asked about the move from Norgaard to Arsenal, Frank said: “It was a bit emotional. I have known him since he was 15. He has now been 31 and I have been training him for 12 years, so I can say I have known him for quite a long time.
“This is the first time I played against him. He played more than 300 games for me and it was a bit strange to see him in the other team. He is a top player and I can understand why Arsenal went for him. I am so happy that he had this great opportunity in his career.”
