Arsenal transfer news: Five deals that could be done before deadline day
ARSENAL transfer news is expected to explode in the coming days. Express Sport has rounded up the host of transfers that could go through before deadline day.
Perisic to Arsenal should only be a loan deal says pundit
Arsenal transfer news could flood through this week as Unai Emery seeks reinforcements for his squad before deadline day.
The Gunners have had a quiet January window so far but that could be about to change with incoming and outgoing deals expected to happen.
Ivan Perisic is the biggest deal to keep an eye on, while Aaron Ramsey’s Juventus saga is due to come to an end.
Express Sport has rounded up which Arsenal transfer deals could be finalised this week.
IN: Ivan Perisic (from Inter)
Perisic has been wanted by Manchester United for several transfer windows but Arsenal have raced into the lead for his signature.
The Inter superstar has put in a transfer request in a bid to engineer a move away from the San Siro according to reports.
IN: Christopher Nkunku (from PSG)
Arsenal have opened talks with Emery’s former side PSG over bringing 21-year-old Nkunku to the Emirates according to BBC Sport.
The young star could sign a loan deal with view to a permanent deal with the Gunners.
IN: Denis Suarez (from Barcelona)
The out-of-favour Barcelona midfielder has fallen down the pecking order following the arrivals of Kevin Prince Boateng and Frenkie de Jong.
Despite a reported stand-off between the two clubs – with Arsenal keen for a loan deal and Barcelona hoping for a permanent switch – Guillem Balague says a deal could still go through.
OUT: Aaron Ramsey (to Juventus)
The all-time worst secret in football history remains unconfirmed by both Juventus and the Gunners.
The Ramsey deal has been finalised according to Balague but neither side has announced a formal agreement.
Ramsey is expected to remain with Arsenal until the summer when he will join Juventus on a free transfer.
OUT: Mohamed Elneny (to Roma)
Elneny has been told he can leave Arsenal this month following the emergence of Mateo Guendouzi in midfield.
Leicester showed early signs of interest before Italian media reported Roma were keen on a loan deal.
It remains uncertain where he could end up, but Elneny is likely to depart.
