Arsenal legend Allen Smith was interviewed by the media, talking about the players the Gunners should sell this summer and commented on the team's signing work.

Regarding which players should the Gunners sell? "I think that considering the injury situation, players like Jesus should be sold. You should thank him for his contribution to the team and try to sell him for cash. Obviously, with Yorke and Havertz, Jesus may not have too many opportunities."

"I would want to stay Trosad because he is very comprehensive, he has performed well, scored a lot of key goals, and I don't think you want to lose him. The same goes for Martinelli, he didn't reach the best last season, but I think you'd definitely hope he stayed."

About Gunners' signing work this summer

"Let's start with Yorke, which in my opinion may be the best signing for the Gunners this summer, I'm going to score 9 points. You can't give him a full shot at the moment ”

"I think Zubimendi is also a great signing. He is a very capable player, and I want to give him 9 points."

"As for Kepa, it is difficult for you to find a suitable second goalkeeper. He has rich experience, and I think this is a successful signing. Maybe you will doubt whether he is content with making the second goal, but in my opinion this signing can score 8 points."

"Maduaike's joining may shock many people, and even some Arsenal fans are frustrated by it. But he is very comprehensive, and I hope he can become an excellent team player, maybe this signing can score 7 points. "

"Norgao is an excellent team player, he will not disappoint you, you can trust him, I score 7 points. "
