Arsenal legend Charlie Nicholas has listed three players that his former side must sell to bring in reinforcements this summer.
The Gunners' budget for the transfer window was hit by their inability to qualify for the Champions League.
A 4-1 hammering at the hands of Chelsea in the Europa League final put paid to any plans of making a splash in the market.
However, Nicholas still feels his side must recruit defenders aplenty this summer but knows the only way to do that is to sell some talent.
The Sky Sports' pundit believes the likes of Mesut Ozil, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Lucas Torreira should be sold, with Torreira in particular having flirted with leaving of late after talking about not settling in well in London.
“We’re being slow again in the market,” he told Sky Sports . “The manager has identified plenty of options. Defensively is the key area. I just hope we don’t delay these deals. Arsenal need to get into the market.
“Who can they get out of the door? If you can get the right offer for Mesut Ozil you’d sell. Mkhitaryan can go and you want to keep Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.
"Torreira's another one who seems interested in going back to Italy. If you get the right money - take it, but come on, start moving on."
