Arsene Wenger wants to slim down his Arsenal squad before making any further additions.
Some of the north London club's shortcomings, particularly defensively, were exposed as they suffered a 1-0 defeat at Stoke in the Premier League on Saturday.
Gunners manager Wenger has not ruled out more signings before the transfer window closes at the end of the month, but his immediate priority is to move out unwanted players.
'I expect to sell players first,' the Frenchman said.
