With one week to go in the transfer window Arsenal have got themselves into a pretty positive position. Edu has already completed deals for Matt Turner, Marquinhos, Fabio Vieira, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko, while as many as 31 players have left the club in one shape or another this summer. Despite that though there is still plenty more to be done.
The club are hoping to complete a few more outgoings in the coming days. football.london understands that Nice's loan deal for Nicolas Pepe should be confirmed in the coming days, while Ainsley Maitland-Niles is attracting interest from Southampton among other clubs. football.london understands that Arsenal maintain the option to extend the England international's contract by another year, meaning that a loan remains a possibility although a permanent exit remains the preference.
With those two likely to leave that opens the door for more potential arrivals before the window closes on September 1st. Pedro Neto of Wolves has been linked heavily in the past few days, while Youri Tielemans remains a long-term target.
