Arsenal are up against the clock now if they are going to get any last minute deals over the line before tonight’s deadline.

Considering how laid back the Gunners have been this summer, Edu Gaspar is now set for a busy day at London Colney.

Mikel Arteta has only seen his squad bolstered by the addition of two new players in what has been a relatively quiet transfer window at the top of the table.

Arsenal already have Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto scheduled in for his medical this morning with one departure expected.

Aaron Ramsdale is now set to leave Arsenal for Southampton as the Gunners eye a late deal for a backup goalkeeper.

However, an attacker is what all Arsenal fans will be wanting to see over the final hours of the window.

Arsenal could make late move for ‘superstar’ forward

With Riccardo Calafiori and Mikel Merino now on board in north London, Arsenal could look to complete the set today with a goalkeeper and attacker.

Arsenal have been linked with a late move for Ivan Toney this summer but the Brentford man’s future remains in the balance.

However, Arsenal are now on ‘red alert’ for any late opportunities in the winger market that may crop up over the coming hours.

According to Sam Cohen, Raheem Sterling is a name for Arsenal fans to look out for today as a potential late shock.

The former England international’s future at Chelsea is under serious doubt after being left out of Enzo Maresca’s opening match squads.

And the journalist has now suggested that Sterling to Arsenal is now one to watch out for in these final hours of the window.

It has even been claimed by others that Sterling’s dream is to end the window as an Arsenal player amid his struggles in west London.

Raheem Sterling could prove late opportunity for Arsenal

Arsenal are in desperate need of some attacking reinforcement before the end of play today as they look set to address all other major positions.

It has to be said that Arsenal could have really done with a big money striker this summer who could lead them to a further 15+ goals.

They have not gone down that avenue and a backup for Bukayo Saka is the other necessity which Arsenal fans will be screaming out for.

Sterling may not provide Arsenal with a huge return in front of goals but the ‘superstar‘ would be able to provide significant experience in his Saka’s place.

The options at Arteta’s disposal in the starting XI are seriously strong, however, there could be questions of the strength in depth Arsenal have down that right attacking flank.
