'Who are we signing?' - Bukayo Saka hilariously quizzed Sky Sports reporter on Arsenal's deadline day transfers amid Gunners links to Raheem Sterling

The Gunners considered dipping into the market to sign an attacking reinforcement and were looking at Sterling and Bayern Munich's Kingsley Coman as potential options. Mikel Arteta wanted an extra option at his disposal to reduce the burden on Saka, with fixtures coming thick and fast after the international break.

Saka was at London Colney for training on Friday morning ahead of the Brighton fixture and while driving home he rolled down the windows of his car and asked Sky Sports reporter Gary Cotterill: "Who are we signing?"

According to The Independent, Arsenal's interest in signing Sterling from Chelsea is seen as too complicated to complete, with the winger's £350,000-a-week wages proving problematic.

However, when Mikel Arteta was quizzed on Friday about any potential deal he refused to close the door and said: "Let's see, it's always possible. In the last 24 hours of the transfer window, never rule out anything. I cannot talk about a player of another team."

Arsenal have signed Bournemouth keeper Neto on a season-long loan deal as a replacement for Aaron Ramsdale, who has joined Southampton on a permanent transfer.

Sterling is staring at an uncertain future as he has been told that he is surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge and does not feature in Enzo Maresca's plans. He was also linked with a move to Manchester United but the Red Devils are allegedly cooling on a move.
