The North London Club have so far allowed Andrey Arshavin, Sebastien Squillaci and Denilson to leave on a free while selling Vito Mannone to Sunderland and loaning out Johan Djourou.<br />

Coquelin now seems to be the latest player who doesnot fit into the seam of things as manager Arsene Wenger&rsquo;s attempts to clear up a part of the wage bill inorder to make offers for top class talents.<br />

The versatile Frenchman, who has been used at full back in addition to his natural central midfielder role, has failed to show an impression on Wenger sufficiently to demand a starting role at Arsenal. Coquelin would now require to move clubs in order to make progress in his career as it is pretty much evident that Arsene Wenger isn&rsquo;t going to give him a run in the first team at Arsenal.<br />

Although he was originally compared with the likes of Fabregas, Coquelin failed to make the transition from a talented youngster to a first team regular, and that has resulted in him losing the confidence of the usually patient Arsene Wenger.
