John Cross reports for the Mirror that Leandro Trossard is the most likely Arsenal player to go at this stage, with Brentford, Aston Villa, and several clubs overseas showing an interest in the Belgian international.
James McNicholas confirms for The Athletic that Arsenal would be open to selling Trossard for the right price this summer.

Sami Mokbel reported for the BBC last week that Trossard is indeed among the players set to leave Arsenal this summer.
Mokbel had previously reported that he’d recently heard there was a chance Trossard could go, telling the Latte Firm YouTube channel that negotiations on a contract extension had failed to progress over the summer.
Arsenal initially held positive conversations with Trossard’s camp over a new deal, but their offer remains unsigned, indicating the player is now exploring his options.

With at least four clubs interested in signing the 30-year-old winger, it does look like a transfer is much more likely than for many of Arsenal’s other fringe squad members.
The likes of Reiss Nelson, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Fabio Vieira, and Karl Hein are seemingly up for sale, but with only one or two interested parties in each case. That makes it difficult to negotiate a decent price for their departures.
But Arsenal aren’t much closer to selling Trossard right now, with no reports of official bids being placed. There’s a lot of work still to do in the final two weeks of the transfer window.
