The Gunners smashed their transfer record to sign Nicolas Pepe for £72 million last week. And they are hoping to recoup a large chunk of that money back through Iwobi.

They know Everton are desperate to bring in a forward after they pulled the plug on Wilfried Zaha. The Premier League transfer window slams shut at 5.00 p.m. today.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have reportedly agreed to allow David Luiz to join Arsenal for just £8 million.The Brazil defender wants to move to Arsenal and Frank Lampard is happy to let him leave amid escalating tensions.
