Arsenal are set to sell Tomas Rosicky and Eduardo to make room for ex-Chelsea star Joe Cole, according to The Mirror.
As Goal.com UK exclusively revealed previously, the 28-year will move the Emirates on a three-year deal, for £80,000 a week imminently.
This expense will stretch the wage bill and manager Arsene Wenger will be forced to balance the books by selling some of his fringe players.
Both Eduardo and Rosicky have struggled for form and fitness in recent years, while their first-team chances will be threatened further by Cole's arrival.
Aston Villa have been linked with the Croatia international, while a return to the Bundesliga could be on the cards for Rosicky.
arsene wenger has always wanted cheap players and now when the opportunity to sign a top player for free comes by, he says the club is unable to afford the high wages. this can probably explain why we are experiencing this trophy drought for so long.
but then agian having a player with high payroll can be stressful at times, buying with initial payment is a one off thing and if you see money in the bank you buy or else you dun, free transfer of course is much better in econ terms but you'll have to live with the payroll thingy for the duration of his time with the club
not sure. some report seem joe cole is signing for man utd as well.
