There are likely to be some surprise signings today – there usually are.
Last season Manchester United got Angel di Maria and Radamel Falcao late on and this time they seem to be finalising a deal for Anthony Martial.
But we expect a lot of rumours about Manchester United transfers today and our interest has been piqued by an early story on Sky Sports.
They reckon that an agent has been sent from Galatasaray to try to do a deal for Gunners star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
DEPARTURE AT ARSENAL?
Potentially big news for Arsenal fans!
Sky sources understand Galatasaray are trying to sign England midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
We understand a French agent has been sent to London to try and complete a deal, but we have spoken to him and he has said he is not very hopeful.
We have already written a few pieces about this lad this summer. If he still isn’t guaranteed a game for his current club would he not make the perfect signing for Manchester United?
United are desperate for a right winger with pace, power and guile. And we have always been massive fans of this lad.
Still only 22 he simply needs games now.
The report suggests that a deal for Gala is not likely.
But the fact that the agent has made the trip at all, instead of conducting business remotely, may suggest that there is some hope of a deal – even a loan.
But could his head be turned by a move to Manchester United?
We saw Danny Welbeck move between Manchester United and Arsenal on deadline day last season and, if United made a play for The Ox, perhaps he may be tempted.
For our money he would be an ideal signing on dealdine day for Manchester United.
Let’s see him in action.
