Carrick: Man United 'happy but always open' as transfer deadline approaches (2:48)

Tuesday is Deadline Day in the transfer market for Premier League clubs who have until 11 p.m. to finalise their squads until January.

It's set to be a frantic final few hours in the hunt to snap up the best deals and offload unwanted players who are taking up valuable room in the wage budget.

Here's the transfer business that all 20 Premier League clubs are expected to focus on...

Arsenal

After completing a move for Ezri Konsa in recent days, Arsenal are looking at options to bolster their attack. Sources have told ESPN that the Gunners have been offered the chance to sign Lyon's Malick Fofana, but it is unclear if they will make a move for the winger before the deadline.

Aston Villa

Unai Emery's side have been one of the busiest in the transfer window so far and that could continue right up until the deadline.

A move for PSG's teenage sensation Ibrahim Mbaye has been rumoured while Taylor Harwood-Bellis from Southampton could patch up the backline.

Emery also had some interesting comments on the relationship between Villa and Chelsea after the clubs crossed paths several times in regards to deals this summer.

"They want to kill us. And we want to kill them ... it is not a good relationship. Of course, because we have good players and we can as well sign players from them, but it's not a good relationship, it's a deal for money and a deal for players. And they will want to kill us.

"They are signing Morgan, they are signing Emiliano Martínez to kill us ... I am happy for Emiliano Martínez, I am happy for Morgan Rogers and, of course, I know I am not happy for Chelsea."

Tammy Abraham could exit Villa before the deadline.

AFC Bournemouth

The concern for Cherries fans is losing England midfielder Alex Scott amid reported interest from Chelsea and Manchester City. But Marco Rose has said Scott will stay: "I'm not just confident, I am sure. Is there 120%? I am sure."

Rose said about further Bournemouth business: "We are in a good spot; we have a competitive team. I think we compete in every position with at least two players. That should be enough.

"For me, it is not necessary to look at other players."

Brentford

El Hadji Malick Diouf's arrival from West Ham was a key one for Keith Andrews' side, while there was sadness as club legend Ethan Pinnock departed for Coventry.

Zian Flemming has been linked with the club for some time now as he reportedly desires a move away from Burnley. The striker, who scored 11 goals for Burnley in the Premier League last term, is also reportedly being chased by Ipswich Town.

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton resisted a £50m bid from Liverpool for Yankubah Minteh, sources told ESPN, and are seemingly counting down the seconds to the transfer window slamming shut.

"When the window is closed I demand from him that he is fully committed to this club," Fabian Hurzeler said about Minteh.

"There are dreams and wishes for players, but in the end we always need to figure out what's best for the club.

"We've had an exchange with him. At the moment he is definitely a Brighton player. It's very important to understand his thoughts but also our planning.

"As a club we try to develop players. The last few years have shown that the whole environment gave him a lot of trust and belief that he is capable of having this progress. It's always a give and take and he's gotten a lot from us." Hurzeler said last week about possible incomings: "Everything can happen but it has to be a good fit regarding personality, character and our style of play."

The club have completed the signing of another South American talent though as midfield prospect Matias Orozco from Colombian side Deportivo Cali.

Chelsea

Goalkeeper Robert Sánchez is expected to exit after he was replaced by Emiliano Martínez, who Chelsea signed from Aston Villa.

Sources have told ESPN that Chelsea are expecting an offer from City for midfielder Enzo Fernández before Tuesday's deadline, while Mykhailo Mudryk and Tosin Adarabioyo could be set for moves across the capital to Spurs.

Coventry City

Frank Lampard played down the prospects of any more transfer business after Coventry lost to Hull at the weekend.

"No, I don't think so," he said. "In terms of what we have brought into the club and where we're at.

"Who knows because there's a few days [to go]."

Mykhailo Mudryk, from Lampard's former club Chelsea, has been linked.

Crystal Palace

Losing Ismaïla Sarr was the key worry at Crystal Palace but that now looks unlikely. Pierre Sage admitted there was interest was Liverpool but he has no interest in losing his key winger.

"When you have three years on the contract, it is not easy to leave," Sage said.

"I understand that for everybody to have this kind of contact [from Liverpool] is difficult, because you hesitate a lot. But for the moment, he is with us. He is under contract.

"He is injured and maybe you can make a link between his injury and the situation. But for me, he is honest and I have no problem with that. We just want him on the pitch as quickly as possible."
