Arsenal: Arteta's defiant message to critics after tough season
Arsenal will not have to look far to replace David Luiz and Willian if the former Chelsea stars both leave this summer. Luiz is out of contract at the end of the season and looks set to depart on a free transfer. Willian, meanwhile, has had a wretched first season at Arsenal following his move to the Gunners last summer.

The winger finally opened his Gunners account in Sunday's 3-1 win over West Brom - his 37th appearance for the club.
Willian still has two years remaining on his contract and his hefty wages could put a lot of clubs off the 32-year-old.
But if Willian does go, Arsenal already have a player in Gabriel Martinelli who deserves to replace the minutes of his more experienced compatriot.
Willian has played 1407 minutes in the Premier League this season compared to Martinelli's 572.

Granted, Martinelli missed the majority of the first-half of the campaign due to injury but has still not featured as much as supporters would have wanted since the turn of the year.
The teenager needs more of a look in next term to help fulfil the potential he showed when he first joined the club.
And seeing Willian head through the exit door will be the first step in doing that.
