Deadline Day is upon us and Arsenal will surely be one of the most interesting teams to watch in the coming hours.
Indeed, the north London outfit are still in the market for potentially two new signings as they continue to chase a new winger and a new midfielder.
The Gunners have been after a winger all summer long, chasing the likes of Raphinha and Pedro Neto to no avail, while The Athletic reported this week that a midfield signing is on the agenda after Mohamed Elneny’s injury.
Edu and Mikel Arteta may well be in for a late night on Thursday as they look to thrash out some final deals, and with that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting the Gunners’ potential post-Deadline Day XI.
As you can see, we’re tipping Arsenal to make two final signings on Deadline Day.
There are no changes in the backline where Arsenal are well-stocked, but there is a new addition in the midfield.
Youri Tielemans has reportedly been waiting and waiting for Arsenal to make an offer for his services, and with Elneny going down injured, we think this offer may finally arrive on the last day of the window.
The Belgian is in the last year of his contract, so he may be available on the cheap.
Another player who is reportedly available in a cut-price deal is Yeremy Pino. Arsenal have been strongly linked with the Spaniard in recent weeks, and with Pedro Neto seemingly off the table, Pino may well be the player they move for on deadline day as Villarreal look to raise some cash.
Other than that, the team remains largely the same, and while Pino starts in this XI on the left for presentation purposes, he’ll also provide depth down the right and will probably be more of a rotation player behind Gabriel Martinelli.
