Mikel Arteta insists EVERYONE in Arsenal squad has a 'clean slate' this summer

Mikel Arteta insists everyone in his bloated Arsenal squad can have a future at the club.

The Arsenal boss ended last season with a hollowed-out group of around 17 after selling fringe players and shifting senior figures such as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Several players – such as Hector Bellerin and Lucas Torreira – looked destined for the exit door having returned from loan spells this summer, while the likes of Bernd Leno are Nicolas Pepe are expected to leave.

But Arteta included them in his oversized, 33-man touring party for this pre-season trip to the United States and the manager said everyone will be given the chance to prove their worth.
