Arsenal have found it tough to offload unwanted players this summer, with Emiliano Martinez the only player to bring them some money after his £16m switch to Aston Villa.
SaedKolasinac, Matteo Guendouzi, SokratisPapasthathopoulosand LucasTorreiraare all expected to be offered out before the window closes on October 5th, with the Gunners hoping to recoup some money before making a final bid.
And speaking to the Here We Go podcast, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that Arsenal are working hard to offload those players before time runs out.
"Obviously the club that is working to signAouaris Arsenal,” he said.
"We have to say that Arsenal are convinced that if they could sell some players, and they have many in [Sead]Kolasinac, Sokratis [Papastathopoulos] and [Lucas]Torreira, many players to sell or loan out in the last two weeks, they can try again forAouar.
"Lyon are asking for €60million, so it's complicated but the player would be ready to join the Premier League, would be ready to join Arsenal.
"The player would like to come to the Premier League and to join Arsenal but for now there are no negotiations.
"In July they offered Guendouzi as part of the deal and they didn't find an agreement.
"Now it's up to Arsenal if they sell players, I am convinced [they will bid again]."
