Arsenal focused entirely on shifting players out on transfer deadline day. Rob Holding signed for Crystal Palace in a deal worth up to £3.5million.
Left-back Nuno Tavares completed a season-long loan to Nottingham Forest with an option to buy for £12m. Albert Sambi Lokonga has joined Luton on a straight loan, while youngsters Arthur Okonkwo and Omar Rekik, among others, have taken up temporary moves of their own.
Arsenal have kept hold of Emile Smith Rowe and Gabriel despite interest from other clubs in recent weeks. There are two other players the Gunners would have preferred to sell by now.
Arsenal transfer news: Cedric Soares may have to search for a move (Image: GETTY)
Cedric Soares and Nicolas Pepe are both out in the cold at London Colney. They have been training away from the first team in recent weeks.
However, there is still a chance of them getting a move elsewhere. Football.london says Pepe has interest from the Saudi Pro League, whose window does not shut until next Thursday.
The former club-record signing spent last season on loan at Nice but failed to earn a permanent deal. He only returned to Arsenal's training ground a couple of weeks ago after not featuring at all in pre-season.
Cedric, meanwhile, had been the subject of interest from Villarreal but a late deal failed to materialise. The Portugal international will now be holding out for a move to a club whose window is still open.
