The Premier League\u2019s deadline may have passed, but the wider transfer market is still active in several major leagues. With different closing dates across Europe and the Gulf, there is still room for high-value moves to be completed after England\u2019s window has shut.<\/p>\n
That creates an opportunity for clubs in Saudi Arabia and T\u00fcrkiye, among others, to move for players who were discussed throughout the summer. Some of the names involved are familiar ones, and several could yet change clubs before the final deadlines arrive.<\/p>\n
Arsenal ended their window without the marquee attacker they had chased, despite interest in Morgan Rogers, Vinicius Junior and Juli\u00e1n Alvarez. Christos Tzolis arrived as Leandro Trossard\u2019s replacement, but the club still face uncertainty over Gabriel Martinelli. The Brazilian is set to become Arsenal\u2019s record sale after the Premier League champions agreed a $75 million deal with Al Hilal. With the Saudi Pro League\u2019s deadline not coming until mid-October, there remains time for that move to go through.<\/p>\n
Supporters have urged Arsenal to keep Martinelli, though his progress has not matched the expectations created by his breakthrough 2022-23 campaign. Even so, he did contribute in the domestic cups last season. With Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke expected to support Tzolis on the left, Arsenal appear prepared for change.<\/p>\n
Alexander S\u00f8rloth remains another player to watch. Manchester United were not interested in adding to their attack, but the Atl\u00e9tico Madrid forward has been linked with Saudi Arabia. Diego Simeone wants to keep him, yet the arrival of Jonathan David from Juventus gives the club more flexibility if a major bid arrives. S\u00f8rloth\u2019s output dropped from 20 La Liga goals to 13 last season, and he will turn 31 in December.<\/p>\n
Jadon Sancho is now a free agent after another difficult spell, while Karim Benzema has reached a mutual agreement with Al Hilal to leave the club, with retirement among the possibilities. Richard R\u00edos has already agreed a loan move to Al Ittihad for 2026-27, and Leon Bailey remains available after training alone all summer. Chelsea also explored midfield options late on, including Manu Kon\u00e9 and Lamine Camara, after Manchester City moved for Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
