Eight transfers Arsenal could complete on deadline day as Mikel Arteta makes final request

Arsenal could complete eight more deals before the transfer window shuts. Edu has already welcomed some big names to the Emirates Stadium this summer, tying David Raya down to a long-term contract before signing Riccardo Calafiori and Mikel Merino.

After missing out on the Premier League title two years in a row, the Gunners will be determined to finally dethrone Manchester City. While the reigning champions haven't spent much, recruiting Savinho from Troyes for £30.8m and securing Ilkay Gundogan on a free, they remain a force to be reckoned with.

If Mikel Arteta wants to snatch Pep Guardiola's chain, then the Arsenal boss could be tempted to further bolster his squad before the transfer window slams shut at 23:00 BST. So, with that being said, football.london has looked at what deals the north Londoners could complete on Friday.

IN – Joan Garcia

Arsenal have recently stepped up their interest in Garcia, football.london understands. It's believed that the Gunners have agreed personal terms with the 23-year-old goalkeeper, who sees his contract at Espanyol expire in June 2028.

While Edu has made great progress in signing Garcia, the two clubs are yet to agree on a fee. football.london also understands that the La Liga outfit will not let the former Spain Under-21 international leave for anything less than his €30m (£25.2m) release clause.

IN – Kingsley Coman

With Arteta eager to bolster his frontline, Arsenal have explored a potential bid for Coman, according to the MailOnline. The report states that the 28-year-old winger, who sees his contract at Bayern Munich expire in June 2027, has recently attracted interest from Saudi Arabia.

Coman currently faces an uncertain future and the Gunners have been reportedly alerted by his situation in the final hours of the window. The MailOnline add that the France international currently earns £300,000-a-week at the Allianz Arena, so there are doubts whether Arsenal would match his wages.

IN – Sverre Halseth Nypan

Arsenal could wrap up a deal for one of the most exciting young midfielders in Europe. According to German outlet Fussball News, the Gunners want to join the race to sign Sverre Halseth Nypan from Rosenborg BK.

The 17-year-old midfielder has previously been linked with a move to the Premier League following his emergence in the Norwegian top-flight. Fussball News adds that the north Londoners are planning talks ahead of his potential arrival in January 2025.

OUT – Aaron Ramsdale

Ramsdale has been heavily linked with an exit from Arsenal for some time, and he looks set to finally join a new club. football.london understands that the 26-year-old goalkeeper will join Southampton in a deal worth up to £25m, which includes a sell-on clause.

OUT – Eddie Nketiah

Despite his impressive performances when called upon, Nketiah has struggled to force himself into Arteta's plans at Arsenal, and he now looks set to join a Premier League rival. football.london understands that the 25-year-old striker is close to joining Crystal Palace.

It's believed that the Gunners are hoping to rake in £30m for Nketiah – the second academy graduate to be dumped by Arteta this summer. Earlier in the window, Arsenal sold Emile Smith Rowe to Fulham for £34m.

OUT – Reiss Nelson

Nelson has faced an uncertain future at the Emirates Stadium for a while. Since making his Premier League debut for Arsenal in 2018, he's started just 10 games, with only one of which coming last season. It remains to be seen whether or not the 24-year-old winger is in Arteta's plans, but he would certainly benefit from a loan – at least.

OUT – Kieran Tierney

Tierney has been linked with an exit from Arsenal for some time – even more so now following the signing of Calafiori. The 27-year-old defender spent last season on loan at Real Sociedad after falling out of favour under Arteta.

Despite an injury-ridden campaign, Tierney still managed to feature 20 times in the Spanish top flight. The Scotland international helped Real Sociedad finish sixth and secure Europa League qualification ahead of the likes of Real Betis, Villarreal and Valencia.

Unfortunately for Tierney, he picked up another knock at Euro 2024, denting the Gunners' chances of offloading him. Nevertheless, Arsenal will be keen to cash in on the Scot, who sees his contract expire in two years.

OUT – Jakub Kiwior

Kiwior also faces an uncertain future at the Emirates Stadium. The 24-year-old defender, who only joined Arsenal from Spezia for £21m in January last year, has been heavily linked with a return to the Italian top flight.

football.london understands that a player-plus-cash deal with Bologna involving Kiwior was mooted, but the Poland international wasn't keen on a move to the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. He featured 20 times for Arsenal in the Premier League last season, helping Arteta's side keep 10 clean sheets.

With William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes proving to be undroppable, Kiwior struggled for minutes. In fact, he has only made 10 starts in the English top flight – nine of which came at left-back despite being a centre-half on paper.
