Arsenal crashed out of the Europa League last night following a 2-1 loss at the hands of Greek giants Olympiacos.

The elimination has dealt a huge blow on the Gunners’ chances of playing Champions League football next term, and missing out on the elite European competition for the fourth season running would come with a lot of consequences.

Arsenal are currently ninth in the Premier League table and are seven points off the top-four with 11 games to go.

They are currently outside the Europa League places, and qualifying for the competition next term isn’t even guaranteed.

Manager Mikel Arteta has some rebuilding job to do in the summer without a doubt, and Arsenal legend Perry Groves has urged him to get rid of nine players in what would be a major squad overhaul.

“He needs to get rid of players. I thought it would be five or six, but I think you’re looking up to about nine players. It is going to be impossible to get rid of them all in one go. This isn’t about talent, it’s not that they are not good players – David Luiz, (Shkodran) Mustafi, Sokratis, (Dani) Ceballos is going to go anyway as he is on loan, (Mesut) Ozil, (Granit) Xhaka, (Calum) Chambers, (Mohamed) Elneny and Henrikh Mkhitaryan,” Groves said on talkSPORT.
