EXPRESS SPORT brings you all the latest news coming from the Emirates Stadium.
Arsene Wenger could see nine senior players leave in the summer
According to website Football Insider, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger could lose up to nine senior players when the transfer window reopens in the summer.
Wenger is reportedly willing to sell full-backs Kieran Gibbs and Mathieu Debuchy and will allow midfielders Mathieu Flamini, Mikel Arteta and Tomas Rosicky to see out their contracts.
Football Insider go on to say that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, David Ospina, Per Mertesacker and Olivier Giroud could also decide to leave the north London club.
Meanwhile, West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has confirmed his interest in signing Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Havard Nordtveit.
The Norway international is out of contract in the summer, with former club Arsenal and Liverpool also thought to be interested in the 25-year-old's signature.
The Hammers manager revealed: "Many clubs are interested in Nordtveit and monitoring the situation. We are also interested in him."

Spotlight - Jose Mourinho
And finally, Arsenal legend Ian Wright says he would be open to the idea of Jose Mourinho replacing Wenger in the summer, despite him building a fierce rivalry with the club during his two stints at Chelsea.
Mourinho has been out of work since the Blues sacked him in December, while Wenger has come under heavy pressure with the Gunners looking increasingly likely to miss out on another Premier League title.
“Arsenal fans would be up in arms,” Wright told BT Sport. “But, I love Jose. If he went to Arsenal, it wouldn’t be something that I would be against."
