Arsenal could still let go of as many as eight players in the summer window as manager Mikel Arteta looks to trim the size of the squad.
Arteta currently has 30 players to work with, which he believes is far too many.
"We have 30 players here which is unsustainable," he said, according to the Evening Standard.
"Obviously the market is still open, and things can happen - but we are prepared."

With the Gunners reportedly still looking to bring at least one more player to the club, there are going to be a number of outgoings.
And, from a financial perspective, Arsenal may need to balance the books somewhat after spending over £200 million on Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber.
The EIGHT player who could leave Arsenal
The standout name that could be leaving Arsenal is Folarin Balogun.
The 22-year-old scored 21 goals for Reims in Ligue 1 last season but surprisingly remains behind Eddie Nketiah in the pecking order.
He could command a transfer fee in the region of £30-40m.

Elsewhere, Nicolas Pepe could finally depart the north London club after an unsuccessful spell since arriving from Lille in 2019.
Albert Sambi Lokonga, Auston Trusty, Cedric Soares, Rob Holding, Nuno Tavares and Alex Runarsson are the remaining six names on the transfer list.
The sales of these fringe players could fund one more high-profile signing between now and the end of the transfer window.
