As Arsenal's Premier League campaign continues to falter, the Gunners' squad is set for a major overhaul. According to reports, manager Mikel Arteta is willing to listen to offers for key players Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira.
Despite their integral roles in the team, both players have faced significant challenges this season. Torreira has struggled with a career-threatening injury, while Xhaka has endured a mixed spell at the Emirates, including a public falling out with fans.
Just hours after a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City on June 17, reports emerged that Arsenal are open to selling both players. The move comes as Arteta looks to rebuild a formidable squad capable of competing for titles.
With the team currently sitting ninth in the standings, eight points off a Champions League spot, the need for change is clear. Whether Xhaka will return to Germany or Torreira makes a move to Italy remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the future of these two players is uncertain.
