For Mikel Arteta, the problem is the really bad display in a 3-0 defeat to Brighton, and for the club’s executives, the problem are contract renewals. The Gunners have no less than nine players with a total worth of 350 million pounds who could possibly leave the Emirates as free agents, and that is something the club cannot allow, at least for the majority of them.##LINKED_NEWS_69234##In recent seasons, we have seen some good players leaving as free agents while other clubs benefited heavily.
