2 players Wenger must offload in January

Per Mertesacker

This is a tough one. The giant German defender is a good player, but with his latest injury problems and the addition of Shkodran Mustafi from Valencia in the summer, it seems Per’s time at The Emirates is up.

On top of this, Arsenal also have Brazilian Gabriel who plays the same position. There is a wealth of competition for the role that Mertesacker plays.

You would think Calum Chambers would be in Wenger’s plans in the upcoming seasons, after spending around £18 million for the young English defender.

Per Mertesacker has been a good player for Arsenal, but removing him from the wage bill could be very beneficial for Arsene to recruit a new player.
