ARSENAL captain Martin Odegaard was substituted late on in the Gunners' 2-1 win over Aston Villa through injury.

We didn't kill the game and in this league, the game is alive. "And I think the team did it." Speaking after his side's dogged 2-1 win over Villa, Arteta admitted Odegaard was "in pain" following the "harsh" challenge, casting doubts over whether the Arsenal skipper, who has already contributed three goals this season, will be fit enough for his side's trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United at the weekend.

Gabriel Martinelli struck the winner to keep our 100 per cent record intact against the Villans.

Martinelli started and finished the move, cutting in from the left and finding Takehiro Tomiyasu, who coolly slipped in Saka. Following the restart, chances were more of a premium despite us getting into plenty of promising positions. It took just 10 minutes for Emiliano Martinez to begin seeing his goal peppered with shots from all angles. But finally, on the half-hour mark they made their pressure tell.

On that theme, support for Bukayo Saka should remain a priority too. However, while Arteta boasts a fantastic crop of players, depth could still prove an issue. Romano told GIVEMESPORT: “I think yes.

However, asked about the Portugal captain’s future, Ten Hag said: “We are happy with him, he is happy to be here and we want to make the season a success together.” Michy Batshuayi was set sign for Nottingham Forest on loan, according to Fabrizio Romano, who in the process reminded us that the Belgian striker is still somehow on Chelsea’s books. Boly, 31, has been liked with a move to Forest in recent weeks and is the latest in a long list of arrivals at the City Ground. Just hours ago, Leeds thought they were closing in on the signing of Marseille forward Bamba Dieng - but there was been a twist in the deal.

[Read the full Arsenal transfer state of play from football.london's Gunners correspondent Kaya Kaynak here.](https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/transfer-news/douglas-luiz-bellerin-arsenal-transfer-24909495) Luiz signed for City in 2017 but due to complications over a work permit, he never played for the Cityzens. The domino effect which is caused by late business will inevitably mean that many deals will come to fruition with very little time to spare in the window. Arsenal’s recent recruitment under Edu and Arteta’s guidance has been second to none so there’ll be few doubting their approach for Luiz. Aston Villa remain adamant Luiz is not for sale. Palmeiras talent Danilo has emerged as a potential signing in the last few hours, but a deal for the Brazilian could prove difficult. Mikel Arteta has made it clear to the Gunners hierarchy that he wants one or two more signings in before the transfer window slams shut tonight, whilst the likes of Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Hector Bellerin could still leave the club. It's the big one.

Arsenal have been linked with both Douglas Luiz and Youri Tielemans as the club look to sign a central midfielder on Deadline Day.

The Brazilian midfielder has attracted interest from the likes of Liverpool and Atletico Madrid, but it's Arsenal who are now looking to wrap up a deal with just hours to go on Deadline Day. We’re not in a position where we need to lose our top players but at the same time Douglas has got a year to go and it is one of those really touchy situations where the club has to do what is best for the club, even if it is not necessarily best for me.” Arsenal's pursuit of the Villa star hints that the club view a deal for Luiz as better value compared to looking to sign Tielemans from Leicester this summer. [Gunners ](https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/)are searching for a new central midfielder to sign before the transfer window slams shut tonight following injuries to Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny. football.london understands Luiz is among a list of players that the Gunners have looked at, with January 2022 the last time he was seriously considered by Edu and Co. Mikel Arteta is hopeful that technical director Edu can secure one last deal this summer to strengthen the squad heading into a busy period of fixtures throughout September and October.

At such a young age, Danilo already has a wealth of experience under his belt having amassed 128 appearances and been called up to the Brazil squad for their international friendlies in June. Gakpo could well be the man to fill the vacancy in the Gunners' attack, but the north Londoners will need to act fast to capture the 21-year-old who struck 10 goals last term and already has four this time around. Should Arsenal see their efforts to capture the exhilarating prospect this summer, they will likely need to meet Shakhtar's steep demands, with Brentford understood to be interested and willing to break their transfer record in order to sign Ukraine's newest star. Having missed out on former Leeds winger Raphinha to Barcelona earlier in the window, Arsenal appear to have reassessed their targets in attack and turned their attention to Shakhtar Donetsk starlet Mykhaylo Mudryk. The Gunners reportedly remain in the market for a number of players as they seek to build upon their scintillating start to the season. The Belgian has entered the final year of his Leicester contract and has shown no indication that he would be willing to extend his King Power stay.
