Transfer deadline day is here – and Arsenal still have some work to do.
The Gunners are sitting pretty, five points clear at the top of the Premier League table, but they have a problem to address. A rib injury to Thomas Partey and a knee problem for Mohamed Elneny has left them short in central midfield and Mikel Arteta wants reinforcements.
"We need some more cover in midfield ideally if we can," he said before the 1-0 defeat by Manchester City on Friday. "In this market it’s pretty complicated to do that.” His words have proven to be spot-on over the past few days, with Brighton refusing to sell Moises Caicedo.
