A tier-list of Arsenal's current squad has gone viral. Ranking the players in tiers such as 'world-class', all the way down to 'sell immediately', some of the choices can be deemed questionable.
Arsenal have had a very up-and-down season.

From being a very bad team under former manager Unai Emery, to now being a team filled with potential with occasional lapse of judgement under current manager Mikel Arteta.
Even though rivals Tottenham barely squeaked past them 2-1 in the most recent North-London Derby, Arsenal fans should be excited about their potential going forward under Arteta.
A tier-list since the North-London derby has gone viral. The list has ranked the current Arsenal squad from World-class, to regular starter, to squad player, to potential, to sell, to sell immediately.
The list made by GiveMeSport is very questionable.

The list below consists of:
World-Class: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Regular Starter: Bernd Leno, Dani Ceballos, Granit Xhaka, Nicolas Pepe, Kieran Tierney, Bukayo Saka
Squad Player: Emiliano Martinez, Lucas Torreira, Hector Bellerin, Calum Chambers, Cedric Soares
Potential: Gabriel Martinelli, Reiss Nelson, Joe Willock, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Rob Holding, Eddie Nketiah

Sell: Sokratis, Alexandre Lacazette, Matteo Guendouzi
Sell Immediately: Mesut Ozil, David Luiz, Shkodran Mustafi, Sead Kolasinac
Even though Pablo Mari misses the tier-list for some reason, the list is pretty flawed with them separating potential from squad, world-class, and regular starter.
Since Arteta's tactical change to playing three-at-the-back, Kolasainac and Luiz are in the best form of their Arsenal careers, and seemed to have turned it around under Arteta.

I think many Arsenal fans as well would argue that Bellerin is a regular starter even over Pepe.
The tier-list is quite flawed sheerly due to the potential tier, but some of the players are still learning how to play under Arteta and are doing really well under the Spaniard. With them saying Arsenal need to sell the aforementioned seven players to compete, that could easily be argued against.
What do you think of Arsenal's squad?
