Arsenal could be in line for a decent transfer windfall this summer, as CaughtOffside claims that a former player may join their rivals Chelsea in the coming weeks.
The Gunners are set for an important market, with Mikel Arteta keen to add even more quality to his squad after winning the Premier League last season.
A move for Bruno Guimaraes has been at the forefront of their business so far, with an offer made for the Newcastle ace, with a belief that any move could prove costly.
As a result, some sales may need to help raise some funds, with Christian Norgaard among those who have been linked with an exit this summer.
However, London rivals Chelsea may help provide a windfall for the club through a sell-on clause for a former player.

After a few impressive World Cup outings this summer, Chelsea are eyeing a transfer for Folarin Balogun this summer, according to Caught Offside.
The former Arsenal striker is believed to be a target for the Blues, with AS Monaco demanding roughly £47.4 million to sanction a possible exit.
Chelsea seemingly view the 24-year-old as an ideal option, while Nicolas Jackson and Liam Delap are linked with an exit, handing Xabi Alonso another striker option.
However, it would hand Arsenal a transfer windfall as a result, due to the club having a sell-on clause inserted into the deal for the former Gunners academy product.
It's a clause worth 17.5 percent of the overall fee, which could see the Premier League champions land a sizable sum to go towards their other transfer deals.

Arsenal's summer transfer window is set to be an important one, as the team looks to keep progressing and continue winning all the biggest prizes.
Deals for some of the biggest names in the Premier League are on the cards, but it is likely to come at quite an expense for the Gunners.
Bruno Guimaraes is a major target, with the midfielder likely to cost upwards of £70 million, while Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers is another who is being quoted at more than £100 million.

Arsenal have seemingly walked away from a deal for one of their transfer targets, and will move on to other options this summer.
It all lines up towards an expensive window that will need to be financed by more than their impressive performances on the pitch over the course of the last season.
Arsenal's inability to sell for large transfer fees has been an issue that needs to be addressed. While Balogun's sale could indirectly help, the Gunners need to find a way to maximise the fees they receive in the transfer market.
