Arsene Wenger is said to be ready to offload four of his first team stars after being angered by their poor displays in Arsenal’s recent defeat to Everton
Wenger is said to have ran out of patience with 28 year old German forward Lukas Podolski, who has scored just four Premier League goals this season, and is said to be an Inter Milan target.
Spaniard Nacho Monreal had a shocking performance against the Toffees and wasted his chance to impress having stepped in to replace usual first choice left-back Kieran Gibbs and is also said to be frustrated at the lack of first team action he has received this season.
Thomas Vermaelen has been frozen out of first team action for the best part of 18 months but when brought in to replace Laurent Koscielny he was exposed on a number of occasions and is now likely to be sold in the summer.
It is understood Wenger feels let down by the Frenchman Olivier Giroud amid allegations of an extra-marital affair and with the Gunners boss looking to sign two strikers this summer it is thought that the forward could also be on his way out.
Sources say Wenger has had enough of players just being a name in the game and not showing they deserve their superstardom or a place at Emirates Stadium
