Arsenal are prepared to listen offers for Kieran Tierney and Granit Xhaka

Arsenal are ready to listen to offers for Kieran Tierney and Granit Xhaka this summer.

Striker Folarin Balogun, who has impressed on a rental basis at Reims this season, could also leave permanently because Mikel Arteta wants to raise money for transfers.

Reiss Nelson, whose contract expires at the end of the season, could also leave, while Ainsley Maitland-Niles has already confirmed he will leave on a free transfer after his loan at Southampton expires.

Arteta is looking for players to add to his side and Arsenal are looking to compete in next season’s Champions League after returning to competition for the first time since 2017.

West Ham midfielder Declan Rice is one of Arsenal’s main transfer targets.

Midfielder Granit Xhaka is another player who could leave the Emirates Stadium this summer

Left-back Tierney is behind Oleksandr Zinchenko in the pecking order this season and has reportedly attracted interest from Newcastle.

Xhaka has made nearly 300 appearances for Arsenal since joining the club in 2016.

Although Balogun has scored 19 goals for Reims this campaign, the product of the Arsenal academy is not guaranteed playing time for Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah.
