Arsenal will probably have a clear summer in the next transfer window.
The Sun reports that the club-record £72m signing of Nicolas Pepe could lead to an exodus, which could include Nuno Tavares, Pablo Mari, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Sambi Lokonga, Cedric Soares and Alex Runarsson.
Nicolas Pepe will probably be one of the worst signings at Arsenal and possibly in Premier League history.
The Ivorian remains the Gunners record signing to date but things have not gone as planned at the Emirates.
Pepe has excelled in Ligue 1 with Lille, emerging as one of the best wingers in Europe. However, Pepe never really understood the Premier League and quickly fell out of favor. Unai Emery - who directed when Pepe was signed - has since come out and said he would prefer to sign Wilfried Zaha instead of Pepe, which was a better option in hindsight.
As for the remaining 6 players, they show that they are not good enough to start regularly on the side of Arsenal, who currently have aspirations in the Premier League and will play in the Champions League next season.

Steven Gerrard during the LFC Foundation charity match between Liverpool Legends and Barcelona Legends at Anfield on March 26, 2022
Steven Gerrard starts for the Liverpool Legends as they host Celtic at Anfield.
The Reds legend will lead the team and debut his partners Charlie Adam and Salif Diao in midfield as Sir Kenny Dalglish appoints a five-man defence. At least, that's what could theoretically happen if Legends played in the positions we're used to seeing them in game days!
Debut teammate Ragnar Klavan, who has yet to officially announce his retirement, started in defence alongside Sami Hyypia and Martin Skrtel, with Bjorn Tore Kvarme and Gregory Vignal at full-back. Three-time winner Sander Westerveld started in goal.
Meanwhile, Dirk Kuyt looks set to lead the attack with Steve McManaman's backing. Alternatively, the former Real Madrid man could drop deeper with Gerrard actually playing a more attacking role.
Available in the first half for both clubs, Robbie Keane was benched for Liverpool and will represent the Scottish giants in the first half. The Irishman stars Jerzy Dudek, Albert Riera, Mark Gonzalez, Momo Sissoko, Luis Garcia, Gary McAllister, Fabio Aurelio, and Djibril Cisse.
