Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said he is not expecting any"bad surprises" before the transfer deadline on Monday with a couple of youngsters potentially leaving the north London club on loan.
Arsenal have brought in attacking midfielder Martin Odegaard and goalkeeper Mat Ryan for the remainder of the season from Real Madrid and Brighton & Hove Albion respectively.They have also been able to move on players who were not part of Arteta's plans, with Mesut Ozil and Sokratis Papastathopoulos released from their contracts and Sead Kolasinac joining Schalke 04 on loan.
"At least when you know what you want to do and what you want to achieve it is easier," Arteta told a news conference on Monday.Advertisement British media reported winger Reiss Nelson and utility player Ainsley Maitland-Niles could secure a late move to gain regular first-team opportunities.
