Arsenal do not have a lot more time left to seal any more major signings that they have in the pipeline.
The Gunners have already spent £200m this summer on a host of star names. Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber were all lucrative arrivals.
All three have already made their debuts for the North London side, albeit Timber’s first outing for Arsenal ending in disaster with a serious knee injury. Their only other addition has been Brentford goalkeeper on-loan but the Spaniard has yet to appear in competitive action.
There’s now less than a week to go until the window closes. Take a look at the latest rumours and confirmed deals coming out of the Emirates over the past 24 hours:
Toney changes agent amid Arsenal rumours
Brentford star Ivan Toney could potentially open the door to a move to Arsenal after changing agents. The striker has signed for super agent Jonathan Barnett’s CAA Stellar agency.

Toney recently admitted his admiration of the Gunners during his recent interview with Steven Bartlett. When he was asked about growing up as a Liverpool supporter, he said: "Yeah, I've been a Liverpool fan my whole life but from young, I've liked Arsenal. I've liked watching Arsenal. I like how they play and kind of how passionate the fans are."
Arsenal have been touted as a future destination for Toney in the future, with Arteta still keen to swoop for an out-and-out striker in the near future. Find out more here
John-Jules exit confirmed
Whilst Toney could potentially be moving to the Emirates Stadium in the near future, one man who won’t be spotted in North London in the immediate future is academy graduate Tyreece John-Jules. The striker has joined League One side Derby County on-loan until January.
Speaking after the deal was confirmed, the 22-year-old said: “I'm happy to be here, I'm excited to get started and see all the boys and get going. I've played with Nathaniel Mendez-Laing at Sheffield Wednesday briefly and Louie Sibley at England youth level so I'm familiar with a few of the lads already.”
He has previously had spells with Lincoln, Doncaster, Blackpool, Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich - scoring three goals in 21 outings for the latter last term.

Fresneda set for Sporting switch
Arsenal appear unlikely to sign Spanish defender Ivan Fresneda this summer. The Gunners have been linked with a move over the past year - most reports surfacing in January.
However, he appears set for a switch to Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon. According to A Bola, Fresneda is close to a £8.5million move. The youngster has given approval to a move to Portugal, whilst there is a five-year contract on the table.
