Arsenal can still do five deals today despite transfer deadline passing

Arsenal can still do five deals today despite transfer deadline passingArsenal enjoyed a quiet January transfer window after splashing the cash on reinforcements throughout the summer. Mikel Arteta is content with his current options and squad depth, though that does not mean that the Gunners won’t be busy over the coming days as there is still the opportunity for new deals to be agreed upon…

Cedric Soares

Right-back Cedric has only featured for Arsenal twice so far this season, playing a total of 65 minutes. With the ex-Southampton star’s contract expiring at the end of the campaign, the Gunners could act quickly to try and strike a deal to offload the 32-year-old to a Turkish or MLS side whilst their transfer windows remain open. Alternatively, given his contract situation, a mutual termination is also an option for all parties.

Mohamed Elneny

Another star who will become a free agent at the end of the season is Elneny. The Egypt international has struggled for minutes at the Emirates Stadium and a sale would see Arsenal recoup a minor fee for his services if they can find a suitor.

Amario Cozier-Durberry

A priority over the coming weeks will be tying academy graduate Cozier-Durberry down to a new contract. Talks have been ongoing with the forward this season but an agreement is no closer and Arsenal will be keen to avoid the very highly-rated winger from departing as a free agent. Borussia Dortmund, Ajax and Newcastle are among those keen on the 18-year-old and he will be in incredibly high demand in the summer if he leaves Arsenal.
