As the 2019/20 campaign enters its second half, Arsenal finds itself 10th on the Premier League log with 22 points, seven off the top four. The Gunners' poor form has been attributed to individual performances of senior players, some of whom the club may consider offloading in January.
The January transfer window offers Arsenal a chance to buy new legs and offload some of their ailing players. With the club's disappointing run of results continuing under interim boss Freddie Ljungberg, it's time to take a look at four players the club should sell.
David Luiz, who joined Arsenal in August, has failed to live up to his billing. His performances suggest he may be past his prime, making him a potential candidate for sale.
