EPL: Arsenal may sell long-serving players, says Arteta

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has acknowledged that the club may need to make difficult decisions regarding the futures of some long-serving players. Speaking ahead of Arsenal's Premier League opener against Coventry City, Arteta emphasized the importance of handling such discussions with "real honesty and transparency". He stated that while these conversations are always challenging, they are necessary when a player no longer feels important or desires a different chapter in their career.

Arteta also noted that Arsenal would strive to maintain respect and admiration for departing players, while acknowledging that difficult decisions are sometimes unavoidable.
