Report: Arsenal to sell two of their unwanted players for £15m this summer

Arsenal will sell Konstantinos Mavropanos and Matteo Guendouzi this summer for £15 million, according to .

Mavropanos spent the season on loan at Stuttgart, who narrowly avoided relegation from the Bundesliga with a stoppage time winner over Koln on the final day of the season.

Guendouzi is with Marseille, who were beaten by Feyenoord – and fellow Gunners loanee Reiss Nelson – in the semi-finals of the UEFA Conference League.

The report says both players have no future and that Mikel Arteta is looking for £15 million combined for the pair.

Arsenal to sell Mavropanos and Guendouzi

The pair will both stay with their loan clubs, having clearly enjoyed their time in Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga.

Mikel Arteta has proved himself to be ruthless with his squad building, making big calls throughout his tenure.

The decisions over both players’ futures is not close to the same scale as offloading Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on the final day of the transfer window.

But the Europa League looks set to return to Arsenal next season, which will necessitate a bigger squad, but that will not include Mavropanos or Guendouzi, from the looks of it.

Mavropanos and Stuttgart will hope for a better season, having survived on goal difference alone in the most dramatic of circumstances.

Arteta needs funds to get players through the door, especially if they are not in the Champions League next season, and the money coming in for the duo could prove handy.
