Arsenal are willing to offload a big name player this summer for just £5 million, following their Premier League title triumph.
The celebrations have barely stopped.
Arsenal fans celebrate Premier League title win
Arsenal's first Premier League title in 22 years was confirmed on Tuesday night when Man City dropped points at Bournemouth, and the Emirates has been awash with emotion ever since.
Mikel Arteta, the man who rebuilt the club from the ground up, was reduced to tears as the magnitude of the achievement sank in.
Three consecutive second-place finishes, three years of almosts and not quites — all washed away in one glorious moment.
There is still more to come.

The Gunners have one eye on the summer window.
The Champions League final against PSG in Budapest on May 30 offers the chance to complete an historic double, and the final-day trip to Crystal Palace on Sunday will see the squad parade with the Premier League trophy for the first time since 2004.
This is a club operating at the peak of its powers.
But even champions need to trim, and Arteta's squad is not immune to the ruthless side of modern football.
Arteta-Arsenal-1
According to The Independent's Miguel Delaney, Arsenal are planning significant departures this summer as they look to reshape the forward line, and one name in particular stands out.
Arsenal ready to sell Gabriel Jesus for just £5 million
Indeed, it is now believed that striker Gabriel Jesus could leave for a nominal fee of just £5m.

Delaney reports that Arsenal would accept that figure to facilitate a return to Brazil, where several clubs have expressed significant interest.
The real incentive for the Gunners is not the transfer fee — it is the wage saving.
Jesus earns £265,000 per week, making him one of the highest-paid players on the club's books, and removing that figure from the salary structure would represent a considerable financial benefit as Arsenal look to reinvest elsewhere.
It has been a frustrating few years for the former City forward.
An ACL injury sustained in January 2025 wiped out the majority of last season, and since returning to fitness, he has found himself firmly behind Viktor Gyokeres in the pecking order.

This campaign he has managed just two Premier League goals in 13 appearances — 11 of which came from the bench.
At his best, Jesus is a relentless worker with sharp movement and an infectious energy, but those moments have become increasingly rare, and at 29 with a year left on his contract, the window to recoup meaningful value is closing fast.
Delaney also names Gabriel Martinelli as the leading candidate to depart among Arsenal's attacking options this summer, suggesting the Brazilian winger's time at the Emirates may also be drawing to a close.
Both departures would create space — financial and physical — for Arteta to add the kind of reinforcements needed to defend the title and compete on multiple fronts next season.

For Jesus, a return to Brazil would represent a fresh start after a period that has been defined more by injury setbacks than the goalscoring form that once made him one of the most exciting young forwards in European football.
Palmeiras have been heavily linked with a move, and that deal would make perfect sense for all parties given his ties to the club.
Arsenal, meanwhile, would free up significant resources with minimal fuss.
