Similarly, Arsenal’s attempts to bolster their defence next season will also come down to their ability to sell unwanted players in their squad. According to the Mirror, the North London club retain an interest in Ajax star Jorrel Hato, but will need to sell some back-up players, such as Jakub Kiwior, if they hope to match the Dutch club’s asking price.
