The Gunners are only able to finish fifth in the standings, one point behind city rivals, Tottenham Hotspur. That was confirmed after Arsenal failed to win from Leicester City and Brighton at the end of the season.

In addition, Arsenal's chances of competing in the Champions League must evaporate due to losing 1-4 to Chelsea in the Europa League final. Failure to qualify for the Champions League now makes Arsenal have to reduce player transfer costs.

Reporting from Goal, former Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann revealed that his former club must sell players.

That was because Arsenal had to bring in new players to appear better. One of the attackers, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is now being targeted by Manchester United.

"If you can only rank in rank, you will sell players. If he wants to go to America, new players can do better things," said Lehmann.

Lehmann added "Arsenal's goal should not be in the top five or six".
