Four players, Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil, Jack Wilshere and Per Mertesacker, are out of contract at the end of the season, and some could even go in January.

Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott are growing increasingly frustrated with their lack of game-time, and could head to pastures new.

Aaron Ramsey and Danny Welbeck, while both having two years still to run on their respective deals, could well be flogged rather than allow their contracts to run down.

Mathieu Debuchy will finally be allowed to leave, while there are growing doubts as to whether Santi Cazorla will ever play again following his latest Achilles injury.

"For him to be happy here is important and I consider him an Arsenal man."

But the man himself is uncertain of what the future holds.

Wilshere, 25, said: “There’s not really a date in the diary. I’ve only read what he's said in the media.

"I’ve just played my first game in the Premier League, I’m concentrating on staying fit and staying in this team.

“That will look after itself. When it’s the right time to talk about it, I’m sure the boss will call me and we’ll have a chat.”
