Mikel Arteta admits there could be some players leaving Arsenal before the transfer window shuts.
The Gunners have been active this summer, having already spent in £132million so far with the likes of Ben White, Martin Odegaard and Aaron Ramsdale arriving in north London.
Arsenal are also looking to trim their bloated squad and reduce their wage bill as they rebuild their squad.
Willian, Hector Bellerin, Sead Kolasinac and Ainsley Maitland-Niles have all been linked with an exit and Arteta conceded that players could be on their way out of the club before Deadline Day on August 31.
Arteta told Sky Sports after their 6-0 win over West Brom in the Carabao Cup: "I don’t know what will happen. A few days to go. Some exits are planned.

"As you say, this [Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Sead Kolasinac leaving] is speculation.
"While they are here we try to treat everybody as good as we can, give them minutes. They have incredible attitude so when we can reward them with minutes because they deserve that."
Arsenal bounced back from their 2-0 defeat to Chelsea on Sunday with an impressive performance against the Baggies as Pierre Emerick Aubameyang scored a hattrick.
Ramsdale made his debut in goals while Odegaard was handed his first start since moving from Real Madrid.
And Arteta was delighted with how the pair fared and feels they both add something different to the group.
He added: "They were very good, the both of them.
"Martin gives us something different we don’t have with any other player. Aaron looked very comfortable. He’s a big personality.
"He [Ramsdale] hasn’t trained a lot with us. He’s a really young goalkeeper who has done a lot in this league already."
Arsenal are also planning to make reinforcements of their own before the window slams shut as Arteta targets a right back.
Owners Josh and Stan Kroenke revealed the Gunners were planning more signings as they sent a message to fans ahead of their defeat to the Blues at the weekend.
