Arsenal plan to offload three of their highest earners this summer – with Unai Emery looking to present Chelsea with a tempting approach for Kurt Zouma.
The France defender has caught the eye during a season-long loan with Everton, and while he appears a long way down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.
His form this season – together with the Blues’ impending transfer ban – suggests he may yet have a role to play next season.
However, The Sun claims Unai Emery has made Zouma his No 1 target this summer – and will prioritise the signing of a new central defender ahead of any other area of the side this summer.
And the paper claims Emery will make big-money trio Mesut Ozil, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Shkodran Mustafi to help finance the deal, with all three high-earners deemed disposable by the ruthless Arsenal manager.
