Mikel Arteta planning fire sale at Arsenal, with 'SIX stars including Willian, Eddie Nketiah and Ainsley Maitland-Niles on the transfer list' as the club looks to balance the books after splashing out £135MILLION

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed the club are planning to sell several players by the transfer window deadline at the end of the month.

The Gunners have a bloated first-team squad and are looking to balance the books with a reported cull of six first-team stars, including former Chelsea midfielder Willian, planned after a £135million summer spending blowout.

And ahead of Sunday's Premier League match against Chelsea, Arteta admitted the club was still aiming for several outgoings and conceded that spending the most money in the division brought pressure.
