The Story in 60 Seconds

Arsenal could reportedly offload three players in a £120 million permanent sale during the January transfer window to fund potential mid-season reinforcements. Citing reports from Spanish outlet AS, writer Dylan Oakley notes that Mikel Arteta's squad depth has significantly limited playing time for several stars following a summer spending spree of nearly £200 million.

Oakley identifies Martin Zubimendi, valued at £54 million, as a prime candidate for a La Liga return after seeing his minutes decrease following the arrival of Bruno Guimaraes. Mikel Merino, valued at £21 million, and striker Viktor Gyokeres, valued at £46 million, are also highlighted as potential departures seeking more consistent first-team roles.
