Tottenham can have the last laugh over Arsenal in the summer transfer window as we approach the final day of proceedings.
The Lilywhites are in a lot more of a calmer mood in comparison to their North London rivals. They are in desperate need of signing two further players to add to the £120million Edu has spent to improve Mikel Arteta's sides' chances of achieving a Premier League top four finish this season. Nicolas Pepe's loan exit to OCG Nice means another squad roster spot has opened up on the wing. The likes of Pedro Neto, Cody Gakpo and most recently, Mykhaylo Mudryk have all been linked, but not one of these deals seems likely to happen before the 11 PM (BST) deadline on Thursday, September 1.
Neto is 'unlikely' to force the issue with Wolverhampton Wanderers whilst there is strong competition for Mudryk from Everton and Brentford, respectively, meaning Arsenal's chances in both these pursuits seem non-existent. That leaves Gakpo on the table for Edu and Co to ponder over, but despite the superiority advantage they hold over the likes of Southampton and Leeds, it seems as though the current Premier League high flyers have stood completely still.
