Arsenal are expecting a quiet end to the summer transfer window.
The Gunners can still bring in players up until the September 1 Premier League deadline but Mikel Arteta looks settled with what he's already brought in.
Arteta has spent around £187m on new faces in the off-season, including an initial £55m move for Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP, to 'solve' Arsenal's striker crisis.
Sales could happen in the final days of the window with Poland international Jakub Kiwior rumoured to be considering an offer from Porto.
However, one name that is not expected to depart is Leandro Trossard, despite facing a battle to secure a starting spot in the 2025/26 campaign.
The Belgium international was used as a rotation option last season, switching places with Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz in Arteta's attack, as rumours emerged of him wanting to leave the Emirates Stadium.

28 starts from 38 Premier League games still yielded 10 top-flight goals and his determination to perform has not gone unnoticed by Arteta despite the arrival of Noni Madueke.
He remained on the bench at Old Trafford, as Arsenal scrapped out a 1-0 win against Manchester United on the season opening weekend, but reports from The Athletic claim the 30-year-old has been convinced to stay.
Following talks with Arteta and the club hierarchy, Trossard has agreed terms on a 'significant wage increase', to reflect his key role in the first team.
However, that does not include an extension from his current deal, which expires in 2027. The club will keep an open mind, if a sale makes financial sense in 2026, but the current message is one of support for Trossard.
