After signing Leandro Trossard and Jakub Kiwior for a combined £48 million, Arsenal is still interested in Brighton star Moises Caicedo. As Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his team even more, Youri Tielemans of Leicester City has resurfaced as a potential possibility for the Gunners. On the final day of the window, teams besides the Gunners anticipate being busy. Chelsea reportedly matched the sizable release clause in Enzo Fernandez's contract and resumed negotiations with Benfica to sign him. Both Manchester clubs may have further agreements to ratify. Joao Cancelo is poised to leave the Premier League champions for Bayern Munich.

Cancelo is set to leave Manchester City

Following an altercation with Pep Guardiola on the practice field, Joao Cancelo is expected to depart Manchester City. The full-back reportedly reacted angrily after finding out he wouldn't be starting for City's FA Cup match against Arsenal on Friday night. He is expected to join Bayern Munich on loan. Cancelo's relationship with Guardiola gradually worsened after the World Cup, and in recent weeks he has become disruptive to the team while complaining loudly about not getting enough playing time.

The 28-year-old international from Portugal threatened to leave the team, and the relationship between the player and manager was so bad that City allowed Cancelo to leave after he brought a loan offer from Bayern to the table. At the conclusion of the season, the defending German champions have the option to purchase him for £61 million. Although their relationship had been tense, it finally broke down before City's 1-0 victory over the Gunners. Losing a crucial team member before the transfer season closes is not ideal, but club insiders have revealed that City had few other options and are now looking for a replacement.

Jorginho of Chelsea is a potential target for Arsenal

Jorginho, a midfielder for Chelsea, is a player that Arsenal is evaluating very seriously. As the player enters the final six months of his contract and Chelsea works to complete a deal for Enzo Fernandez, Arsenal sees a potential chance. In the summer of 2020, Arsenal made an attempt to acquire Jorginho. When Manchester City sought to sign Arteta in 2018, he was a coach there, but the midfielder opted for Chelsea. If Brighton decides to reverse their "not for sale" stance, Arsenal will still be willing to make a deal for Moises Caicedo. It is evident that Arsenal will exert significant effort on Deadline Day to bolster the midfield.

Leicester decides what Madison's future

Leicester City, a team based in the East Midlands, is reportedly "unlikely" to consider any bids for star midfielder James Maddison. Newcastle, who has recently signed Anthony Gordon, has showed interest in the former Norwich City player. However, the Foxes have adopted a strict position over his future as they work to prevent relegation. In the interim, they might try to sign Jack Harrison, according to Mail Online.

Everton present Gallagher's offer

According to rumors, Everton has made a bid to buy Conor Gallagher from Chelsea. Sean Dyche is trying to strengthen his team before the transfer window closes, therefore the offer is in the neighborhood of £40 million plus $5 million in add-ons.

Maguire is a target for Inter Milan

Harry Maguire may go on an unexpected loan from Inter Milan to Manchester United, according to reports. Even though Maguire is still the club captain of United, he has had difficulty getting regular playing time this season after losing out to Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez for starting spots at Old Trafford. According to The Mail, Inter Milan has expressed interest in taking Maguire on loan for the remainder of the current campaign, but the player would want to make a decision regarding his future in the summer.

Arsenal prepare Caicedo bid

In an effort to convince Brighton to sell Moises Caicedo before Tuesday night's transfer deadline, Arsenal is prepared to come back to the table with a club-record offer. The Seagulls have previously rejected two offers from the Gunners and are determined that they would not transfer the Ecuadorian international this month. Arsenal, though, is reportedly considering making a second offer for Caicedo that would be higher than the £72 million they paid for Nicolas Pepe in 2019.

Brighton is getting closer to Ayari, which helps Arsenal

Yasin Ayari, a Swedish midfielder, is expected to sign with Brighton, which could open the door for Moises Caicedo to sign with Arsenal. A £5 million deal is expected to bring Ayari, 19, from AIK Solna. Up to 2027, he has agreed to a contract. On Sunday night, Arsenal's increased offer for Caicedo was rejected; but, before Tuesday night's transfer deadline, Arsenal may make another offer.
