Five Arsenal stars ready to follow Bendtner and Sagna out of the exit door

5) Santi Cazorla

With Arteta and Monreal’s positions also under threat, there could be a real exodus of Spaniards from Arsenal this summer if Santi Cazorla’s proposed move from the club to La Liga champions Atletico Madrid goes ahead.

Cazorla has been a fine servant to Arsenal since arriving in North London from Malaga, but with the player set to enter his thirties, a significant bid approaching £20m from Atletico for his services would be likely to convince Wenger to let him go, paving the way for a younger and more long-term replacement to join the club.
