Mikel Arteta could end the summer transfer window with a splash as we approach the 7pm deadline.

The Gunners signed Eberechi Eze in a £68 million deal from Crystal Palace, hijacking Tottenham’s move for the Englishman following Kai Havertz’s injury setback.

Arsenal have worked tirelessly throughout the summer to bolster their hopes of attaining the Premier League title this season.

Once Arsenal’s move for Piero Hincapie is formalised, they will have officially outspent Liverpool, albeit this could change very quickly before the deadline.

Nevertheless, the Gunners could further improve the squad before 7 pm, and here are four players who could arrive at the Emirates on Deadline Day.

Rodrygo

The Brazilian’s future at Real Madrid has been the subject of intense speculation throughout the summer as Xabi Alonso reportedly is willing to let him depart the Santiago Bernabeu.

TBR Football understands that Arsenal could make a loan move for Rodrygo, but could face competition from Manchester City.

Although Eze and Noni Madueke have arrived to provide competition on the flanks, Arteta believes he is lacking an out-and-out elite-level left winger, and Rodrygo could be that man.

Ademola Lookman

Ademola Lookman hardly set the Premier League alight during his spell with Fulham, but has since developed into a top-level player.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Lookman is a £50m target for Arsenal, and the Nigerian was recently fined by Atalanta and forced to train alone as he tries to force a transfer.

The 27-year-old scored a hat-trick in the 2024 Europa League final and recorded 20 goal contributions in 31 Serie A appearances last term – he could be a real asset for Arteta.

Malick Fofana

According to L’Equipe, Arsenal have added Malick Fofana to their shortlist and will look to accelerate their interest before the deadline.

The French forward has been linked with a move all summer, but still finds himself at Lyon despite being one of the most highly sought-after young prospects in Europe and available for a cut-price £34m fee.

Considering he has been touted with moves to Liverpool and Bayern Munich as of late, Fofana would be a considerable coup for the Gunners.

Caleb Yirenkyi

While a name not many, if any, Arsenal fans would be expected to know, Caleb Yirenkyi is a bright young midfield prospect playing at FC Nordsjaelland.

The Daily Mail reports that the 19-year-old is on the Gunners’ radar and is widely regarded as one of the best young talents coming out of Denmark.

He provided two goals and two assists in the Superliga last term, and having already established himself as a fully-fledged Ghanaian international, Yirenkyi could be the future of Arsenal’s midfield.
