In the build up to this week’s Premier League shareholders’ meeting and planned salary cap vote

Arsenal have shifted from strong backing of a Premier League salary cap to a more cautious stance after the exit of executive Tim Lewis, leaving the proposal short of firm support just as clubs prepare to vote on anchoring wage bills.

Nwaneri could leave on loan for regular minutes and the club are open to serious proposals for White.
