Five Arsenal stars ‘have resolved to leave the club’ this summer.
Arsenal staff understands at least five senior members of the first-team want to leave the club this season, according to reports.
The Gunners are set for their lowest finish in the Premier League since the 1994/95 campaign. Their exit from the Europa League at the semi-final stage last week also suggests they are destined to be without European football for the first time since that summer in the mid-90s.
All shots hint Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke is lining up manager Mikel Arteta despite a hugely frustrating campaign on the pitch.
Kroenke’s son and club director, Josh, asserted in a fans’ forum last month that funds will be made ready this summer for Arteta to reinforce his squad.
However, extra money through player sales will only enhance Arteta’s possibilities of signing the caliber of players he needs.
And there are five first-team players who are alleged to want out of the club already.

The Athletic list goalkeeper Bernd Leno, defenders David Luiz and Hector Bellerin, as well as Granit Xhaka and Willian as the quintet of stars who want to move on.
Luiz is out of contract in the season so his exit looks the most candid.
Leno has made a number of high-profile mistakes this season and has been left out for a couple of recent Premier League matches.
He recently said he would possibly be open to a new exploit away from north London.
Bellerin has been out of favor in 2021 and looks more likely to exit the Gunners after a 10-year bond with the club.
Xhaka has been a constant starter in the Arsenal midfield since arriving from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2016.
However, he has been incapable to lead the Gunners to Champions League qualification in any of his five terms at the club.
Xhaka wanted to leave in January 2020 after a public falling out with Arsenal fans earlier that season.
However, Arteta convinced the Switzerland international to stay.
The player which may be the most difficult to move out of the club is Willian.
Willian eventually scored his first goal for Arsenal at the weekend at the 37th time of charging.
But overall his free transfer from Chelsea has been nothing short of a failure.
Willian still has two years remaining on his Arsenal deal and turns 33 in August.
Arsenal would likely have to take a nominal fee for the winger in order to get his large pays off the books.
