Ben White, a defender who is no longer considered a first-choice by Arteta, is also open to being transferred. Additionally, Arsenal is prepared to send 18-year-old midfielder Ethan Nwaneri on loan for the second half of the season.

The club believes Nwaneri needs to play more regularly to develop his skills. Arsenal's priority is to reduce the size of the squad after investing £250m in the summer to sign several new players.

These moves aim to create opportunities for younger players and help the team adjust to the new season.
