He joins Martin Zubimendi, Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke, Cristhian Mosquera, Christian Norgaard and Kepa Arrizabalaga as a new face in the squad this summer.

The signing of Gyokeres in particular was a key one for Mikel Arteta, with the Gunners needing a natural goalscorer who could make the difference in a close game. The striker scored a brace in the weekend’s 5-0 win over Leeds United.

Arsenal have also managed to offload some players. Thomas Partey, Kieran Tierney and Jorginho all left the clubs. Marquinhos and Nuno Tavares have both also left on permanent deals.

The next few days are expected to see more outgoings as Arteta looks to continue to trim his squad. Here’s a look at the deals that could happen to make it an even more successful window than it currently is.

Incomings

Piero Hincapie

Arsenal have made a move to sign the Bayer Leverkusen defender before the end of the window. football.londonunderstandsthat there is genuine interest from the Gunners, and an exit could prompt the club to move forward with a potential transfer.

Rodrygo

In an ideal world, Arsenal will also be able to make a move for the Real Madrid winger before the end of the transfer window. For that to happen, though, the Spanish side will have to lower their current asking price and maybe even be open to a loan deal.

Outgoings

Concentration for Arsenal in the final days of the window will be on outgoings, with five players linked with moves away from the Emirates Stadium before the deadline. Defender Jakub Kiwior is of interest to Porto and has fallen down the pecking order at Arsenal.

Last season’s loanees Reiss Nelson, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Fabio Vieira are all expected to leave the club.

They could be joined by full-back Oleksandr Zinchenko. The Ukraine international has dropped down the pecking order this season and could move on in search of more game time.
