Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, wearing an orange top, looks on during a training session.
Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri are expected to leave Arsenal before the end of the transfer window, talkSPORT understands.
Both players were left out of the Gunners' squad for the season-opening Community Shield clash with Manchester City.

Martinelli and Nwaneri featured in last term's Premier League title triumph, the former making 30 appearances for Mikel Arteta's side.
But talkSPORT understands their futures look set to lie elsewhere after their omission from the team sheet for Sunday's game in Cardiff, which saw Arsenal take the lead after just 23 seconds through Riccardo Calafiori's strike and Kai Havertz extended their advantage just shy of the half-hour mark.
Arsenal to say goodbye to Martinelli and Nwaneri?
Martinelli joined Arsenal from Brazilian club Ituano back in 2019 and has gone on to score 62 goals in 278 games for the Gunners.
The 25-year-old Brazil forward also helped Arsenal to the finals of last season's Carabao Cup and Champions League – finding the net six times in the latter competition.
However, he averaged only around 35 minutes per Premier League appearance and now faces increased competition out wide following the signing of Christos Tzolis.
Nwaneri, meanwhile, rose through the Gunners' youth ranks to become the youngest player in both Arsenal and Premier League history, making his first-team debut against Brentford in 2022 aged 15 years and 181 days.
The England Under-21 attacking midfielder was regularly involved during the 2024/25 campaign, scoring nine goals in 37 outings across all competitions, but found his opportunities limited last term, making 12 appearances before being loaned out to Marseille in January.
talkSPORT understands Arsenal have already held talks with Galatasaray over the potential sales of Martinelli and Nwaneri, with striker Victor Osimhen going the other way a possibility.

However, despite the Gunners receiving a verbal offer of £38.4m for Martinelli, the player has said he doesn't want to join the Turkish champions.
Arteta confirmed last week Arsenal are still looking to strengthen their squad before the window closes on August 31, having completed the long-awaited signing of Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle last weekend.

"There is more that we want to do because every time we have an opportunity to improve the squad and bring more quality and depth to the squad, we need to do that," Arteta said ahead of the Community Shield.
"We are actively trying to do so. The thing in the market is that it doesn't just depend on you. We are very clear on that.
"But the approach, the will and the desire of the club, that's unquestionable. We want to try to do that. But we cannot promise that we're going to do it because it doesn't only depend on us."
In addition to Guimaraes and Tzolis, the Gunners have brought in former Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier on a free transfer – as well as making title winner Piero Hincapie's loan switch from Bayer Leverkusen permanent.
After the Community Shield, Arsenal turn their attention to the opening match of the 2026/27 Premier League campaign at home to newly promoted Coventry on Friday, live on talkSPORT.
The Gunners are aiming to win back-to-back league titles for the first time since 1935.
