Arsenal could sell two defenders in quick succession, as David Ornstein has reported talks are continuing for a Gunners man to be sold to a Ligue 1 side.
The north London club have been busy in terms of additions and sales this summer. They have signed seven players, sold two, while three have left on free transfers and one on loan.
At the back end of the summer, two more men could leave the club Arsenal – both defenders.
Jakub Kiwior’s move to Porto has been confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, and fellow insider Ornstein writes in The Athletic that Oleksandr Zinchenko could follow him out.
He states French club Marseille are working on a deal to sign Zinchenko, hoping for a permanent transfer, though his salary could present an issue there.
In any case, talks are continuing to see if a deal can be reached before the September 1 deadline.
The sort of fee Arsenal could ask for is not mentioned, though previous reports have suggested they want £13million.
