Arsenal transfer news: What to expect on deadline day
Arsenal went about their transfer business this summer and signed eight new players for around £250m – so not much is expected on deadline day.
The Gunners let youngster Ethan Nwaneri join Marseille on loan this month to aid his development and give him game time, and a large part of that is down to the depth they have in their squad.
The only thing that could lead Arsenal into the market, although it seems unlikely at this stage, is if they want to add another team option now, Mikel Merino is due to undergo surgery following a foot injury.
Merino is a trusted member of the team and his physicality and ability to also play as a number nine is a useful tool for the Gunners.
That said, this should be a great market opportunity, and although Mikel Arteta has said the club is still ready in the market, it appears there are no plans for a new face to join a team leading the Premier League by six points.
