Tuesday morning's Arsenal transfer talk news roundup:


Arsenal 'want to complete five deals on deadline day'

Arsenal are reportedly set for a busy transfer deadline day as they hope to finalise as many as five deals.

The Gunners have been among the Premier League's most active clubs already this month in terms of incoming and outgoing activity.

Mathew Ryan and Martin Odegaard have been signed on loan, Sead Kolasinac and William Saliba have been sent out on loan, and Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Mesut Ozil have been released on free transfers.

football.london reports that Arsenal do not intend to stop there, with technical director Edu in for a busy final day of the winter window.

It is claimed that Shkodran Mustafi will become the next player to have his contract terminated by the North London outfit, while a new club is being sought for Reiss Nelson, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Joe Willock for the rest of the campaign.

In terms of incoming activity, Mikel Arteta is said to be seeking a new left-back to provide competition for Kieran Tierney.

Crystal Palace's Patrick van Aanholt, who is into the final six months of his contract, is thought to be a possible option.



Achraf Hakimi 'open to Chelsea, Arsenal move'

Inter Milan are reportedly prepared to sell defender Achraf Hakimi during the summer transfer window.

The Italian giants edged out a number of teams to win the race for the wing-back, agreeing to pay Real Madrid a £35m fee for his signature last July.

However, while the 22-year-old has contributed six goals and three assists in Serie A this season, Inter may be forced to part ways with the Morocco international.

According to The Athletic, Inter have failed to pay the first installment of the deal which was agreed with Real due to their current financial issues.

The report adds that club officials may now be prepared to cash in on Hakimi in order to ensure that they fulfil their commitments with their Spanish counterparts.

Hakimi is allegedly open to a switch to the Premier League, something which would likely alert Chelsea and Arsenal.
