The transfer deadline may have passed across Europe's top five leagues, but the summer transfer business is far from over. Despite the window closing, there are still ongoing developments in the world of football transfers.

Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker, finds himself in a challenging situation at Napoli. Following a failed move to Chelsea, Osimhen has been left out of Napoli's Serie A squad list and is set to lose his No. 9 shirt number to Romelu Lukaku. The relationship between Osimhen and the club has soured, leading to his exclusion from the first team. Despite the transfer window still being open for three more days, no Saudi clubs are expected to make a move for him.

Arsenal is eyeing a future move for Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon, despite the recent arrival of Raheem Sterling on loan. The Gunners' sporting director is reportedly a fan of Gordon, and talks over a potential transfer could take place next summer. Gordon, who was linked with Liverpool, seems content at Newcastle, with contract talks ongoing to reward his past performances.
