Seeing as we’re not firing up a Deadline Day blog, here’s a quick round-up of what Arsenal may (or may not) get done ahead of the 7pm cut-off.
Outgoings
Jakub Kiwior
Set to join Porto on loan ahead of a permanent move next summer. An announcement is expected in the coming hours.
Sambi Lokonga
According to The Athletic, he’s heading to Hamburg on a permanent deal. No fee has been disclosed, but don’t expect fireworks.
Fabio Vieira
Also bound for Hamburg, per Sky Germany’s Fabrizio-Romano-wannabe Floran Plettenberg. This one looks like a season-long loan.
Reiss Nelson
In talks over a return to Fulham, although it’s unclear if anything will materialise. CBS Sports’ James Benge says Besiktas are also keen, and with the Turkish window open until 12 September, that deal could drag on. For context, Besiktas recently tore up Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s contract.
Oleksandr Zinchenko
Linked with Marseille earlier in the window, but that trail has gone cold. The Mail’s Isaan Khan now says the Ukrainian could end up staying to see out the final year of his contract. Whether that makes for a thrilling chapter in his autobiography is another matter.
It’s possible a few kids from the Academy could also head out on loan.

Incoming
Piero Hincapié
The Ecuador international was in London over the weekend to complete his medical. He’s set to join the Gunners on loan before making the move permanent next summer in a package that could rise to €52 million.
