After just over one month of transfer activity, deadline day has arrived with teams scrambling to get some deals over the line.

Arsenal are among those hopeful of sealing a move or two, whether that is into or out of the club this window.

Recent days have seen Mikel Arteta and his hierarchy chase for a forward addition or two to help bolster the squad.

Meanwhile, there are doubts over a few stars, who could well leave in the final hours, minutes or seconds of the market.

So with that said, here’s a look at a few deals that could go through on transfer deadline day.

Bayern Munich starlet Mathys Tel could make Arsenal loan transfer switch

With the forward department looking light on numbers, Arsenal have been in the market to improve their options.

While a few names have come and gone for potential switches, the latest of those to be rumoured is Mathys Tel.

The Bayern Munich star looks set for a possible switch on the final day of the window, in search of more game time.

Arsenal have made contact over a transfer for Tel, though they face competition from Manchester United for his signature.

The possibility of a loan move with an option to sign the 19-year-old permanently could be on the cards for either side.

Ollie Watkins could make late Arsenal transfer switch

Another forward linked with Arsenal this window is Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins.

Arsenal made a £60million bid for Watkins late in the January transfer window – though it was one that Villa rejected.

While Unai Emery has set a firm stance on an exit for the England international, seemingly ruling it out, there is still a chance of a move.

The Independent claims that Arsenal have been mulling over a second offer for Watkins, with Aston Villa close to the line on PSR restrictions.

It is being pitched as a take-it-or-leave-it opportunity to the striker, who has been a boyhood fan of the club from a young age.

Oleksandr Zinchenko could make Arsenal transfer exit

One star facing an uncertain future is Oleksandr Zinchenko, who has struggled for game time at Arsenal this season.

The defender has failed to win back the left-back shirt over the campaign, with Myles Lewis-Skelly and Riccardo Calafiori taking it from him.

With just 18 months remaining on his contract, Zinchenko has been linked with a transfer exit as the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid have been rumoured with interest.

While little progress has been made on those switches, it remains to be seen whether a last-minute move could push through on deadline day.
