Arsenal spent almost 180 million USD this summer and managed to get back only the fifth of that amount by selling Joe Wilcock to Newcastle (34 million USD) and by sending Lucas Torreira to Fiorentina on loan (1.8 million USD).Now is the time for the Gunners to get rid of a few more players, and the most interesting to the Premier League teams at the moment are Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Eddie Nketiah, two players which grew up in Arsenal’s football academy.Chelsea brainstorming over Hudson-Odoi and KoundeEverton are negotiating with Arsenal over a loan deal for Maitland-Niles with a buyout option at the end of the season. The Athletic report that the offer has already been sent and that the north London club is considering it.The English footballer spent last season on loan at West Brom, and this year his new departure from the Emirates could bring a higher risk. Arsenal are working on the sale of Hector Bellerin, for whom Betis is interested, so in case both of them leave, Cedric Soares and Calum Chambers (who was often used as a stopper) would remain at the disposal of Mikel Arteta as right backs.SAT, 11/9, 17.00: (1.55) ARSENAL (4.10) NORWICH (6.00)It’s no secret that Everton and Arsenal nurture friendly business relations, so Maitland-Niles could be the third footballer to go from North London to Goodison Park in recent years – first two are Nigerian Alex Iwobi and England’s Theo Walcott.During the second part of last season, English right back played constantly at West Bromwich, while in the first part of the campaign he recorded only 485 minutes for Arsenal. He would not have a guaranteed place in the starting lineup in Everton either, since captain Seamus Coleman is crucial at right back. However, the Irishman is prone to injuries in recent years.©InstagramAt the same time, Crystal Palace would like to strengthen the team’s offensive line with Eddie Nketiah. Financial part of the potential deal is currently being negotiated, but the clubs are not close to an agreement yet. Along with the Eagles, a German club whose name has not yet been disclosed is also interested in the young Englishman.As Nketiah entered the last year of the contract, and negotiations on the extension of cooperation failed, Arsenal will try to seize the last opportunity to earn some money from the footballer whose market value is estimated at 19 million USD.On paper, the competition in Arsenal’s attack is still too strong for Nketiah, although Arsenal not only did not score a goal after three league games, but also sent only six shots on goal.
