With just seven days remaining in the transfer window it's shaping up to be a busy week for Arsenal.
Edu has already overseen the signings of Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner and Marquinhos, while as many as 31 players have left the club in one form or another. The next person to join that list is Nicolas Pepe after the Gunners agreed a deal for loan move with Nice that football.london understands does not include an option to buy.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles could meanwhile also be on his way out of the club. football.london revealed that Arsenal have the option to extend the England international's contract by a year, meaning that they could send him out on loan this season, although a permanent transfer remains the preference with Southampton among the teams interested.
