Arsenal struggling to sell two backup players during summer transfer period.

Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, has his sights set on a major rebuild this summer. However, their plans may be affected by their current injury crisis, according to reports. The team's recent performance in the Premier League has been disappointing, with dropped points against West Ham and Nottingham Forest. The lackluster attack is not surprising, as they only have three fit forwards due to injuries sustained by Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka, and Kai Havertz.

With another season coming to an end without any trophies, Arsenal is expected to make significant moves in the transfer market this summer. Replenishing their forward line will be the top priority, and they have their eyes on Alexander Isak and Benjamin Sesko as potential targets. However, acquiring either of these talented strikers will come at a hefty price, with Newcastle demanding a British record transfer fee for Isak.

To fund these big purchases, Arsenal will have to offload some of their squad players. Names like Thomas Partey, Kieran Tiernay, and Oleksandr Zinchenko have been linked with moves away from the club. However, there may be difficulties in selling two other players, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Gabriel Jesus, due to their ongoing injury problems.

According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal might have to put their plans to sell Tomiyasu and Jesus on hold as they continue to recover from their major injuries. Jesus had a great run of form during the festive period, scoring six goals in four games. Unfortunately, his season was cut short by an ACL injury in January's FA Cup match against Manchester United. As for Tomiyasu, he has only played six minutes of football this season due to multiple injuries. The Japanese international suffered an injury during the club's pre-season tour and has been out of action since a brief substitute appearance in October.

Although this is a setback for Arsenal's plans to clear out their squad, they remain determined to refresh Arteta's team for the upcoming season. They are close to securing the signing of Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi, and they are also targeting Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia to provide competition for David Raya. Despite the challenges posed by their injury crisis, Arsenal is determined to make the necessary changes to compete for the title next season.
