"The foot injury sustained by Mikel Merino made the last few days of the window a bit more interesting for Arsenal supporters, although in the end there was no big signing. Deadline-day links to Sandro Tonali of Newcastle and Leon Goretzka came to nothing, and Arsenal missed out to their north London rivals Tottenham on the 18-year-old Scotland striker James Wilson."
"It is hard to discern whether Villa finish the window in a stronger position than when it opened after allowing Donyell Malen and Evann Guessand to depart, but the return of Tammy Abraham, on a permanent deal, provides Villa with another bona fide striker, and Douglas Luiz, another player back for a second spell, eases their midfield injuries. Alberto Benito, Emery's chief scout, tracked Alysson, a 10.5m buy from Gremio and the club could look back on the 10m deal for Brian Madjo"
The foot injury to Mikel Merino prompted Arsenal to explore late transfer options but no major signing occurred. Deadline-day links to Sandro Tonali and Leon Goretzka failed, and Arsenal lost out to Tottenham for Scotland striker James Wilson. Arsenal signed England Under-19 defender Jaden Dixon from Stoke and loaned Ethan Nwaneri to Marseille. Oleksandr Zinchenko departed to Ajax. Aston Villa did not complete high-profile late arrivals but secured Tammy Abraham permanently and brought back Douglas Luiz on loan, while signing young talents Alysson and Brian Madjo. Villa also loaned out Donyell Malen and Evann Guessand and sold Finley Munroe.
