Arsenal's dream final week of window as Rodrygo signs and £80m last-minute swoop completed

The final week of the summer transfer window is on the horizon, and Arsenal could be one of the busier sides in the market as September 1 approaches. Mikel Arteta has orchestrated a major rebuild of his ranks over the past few months, and further signings are in the pipeline.

Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and Martin Zubimendi have all arrived at the Emirates Stadium for significant fees, with Cristhian Mosquera, Kepa Arrizabalaga and Christian Norgaard joining the club to be a part of the north London project. The Gunners pounced to get a deal over the line for Eberechi Eze earlier this week, and further late swoops cannot be ruled out if Arteta is able to enjoy his dream end to the end of the transfer window.

Express Sport takes a look at three deals which could see Arsenal assert themselves as strong title contenders and a force to be reckoned with on the European stage...

Rodrygo completes attacking rebuild

Real Madrid star Rodrygo is still questioning where he fits in at the Santiago Bernabeu this season, and the uncertainty could allow Arsenal to strike a last-minute deal to sign the Brazilian from under the noses of rivals Manchester City.

The winger is capable of playing anywhere across the frontline, and his tricky dribbling and impressive end product could be a nightmare for Premier League defences to contend with.

Five players sold

When there are incomings, there are inevitably outgoings. Arsenal have a host of fringe players who can be offloaded for reasonable fees to raise funds and reduce the overall squad size. The Gunners are keen to sell Reis Nelson, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Fabio Vieira before deadline day arrives, whilst Albert Sambi Lokonga remains firmly in the Emirates shop window.

Jakub Kiwior is attracting interest from top clubs around Europe, and the Polish international could be sold before his value depletes - which is likely given that the signing of Mosquera is likely to push him down the pecking order this season.

Late £80m move

If Arsenal decide to offload either Leandro Trossard or Gabriel Martinelli - who are not short of suitors - then another marquee signing could be in the pipeline. According to The Sun, Morgan Rogers is a player of interest to the Gunners and Arteta's side are considering making a late move for the England international.

Aston Villa are 'determined' to keep hold of Rogers, but an offer in the region of £80million would test their resolve - which may not be out of the reach of Arsenal if they are able to complete the sales of the aforementioned quintet for reasonable fees.
