Arsenal could reportedly attempt to offload as many as 13 players during this summer's transfer window, with the Gunners looking to raise funds to boost their squad for next season.

The North London club are currently in pole position to secure fourth spot in the Premier League table, which would see them return to the Champions League for the 2022-23 campaign, further boosting their budget.

According to The Express, as many as 13 players could be made surplus to requirements this summer, with the club determined to back head coach Mikel Arteta's vision moving forward.

The report claims that Bernd Leno, Mohamed Elneny, Granit Xhaka, Alexandre Lacazette, Eddie Nketiah, Hector Bellerin, Pablo Mari, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Lucas Torreira, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Matteo Guendouzi, Reiss Nelson and Alex Runarsson could all be on the move.

Xhaka and Lacazette remain important players for Arsenal, but the former is still believed to be a leading target for Roma and could push for an exit during this summer's transfer window.

Lacazette, meanwhile, is out of contract at the end of June, and the Gunners are believed to be planning to move for a couple of new forwards ahead of next season.

Arteta's side are currently fourth in the Premier League table, one point clear of fifth-placed Manchester United with three games in hand, and they will be looking to continue their strong form against Leicester City on Sunday. body check tags ::
