Arsenal's wage bill has been reduced as a result of several players leaving the club, but with no new arrivals, Mikel Arteta's squad appears to be even more scarce.
Arsenal's transfer window hasn't gone as planned, but deadline day can always throw a few surprises.
With a little more than 24 hours to go, the Gunners are looking thin in some areas.
Mikel Arteta and sporting director Edu have failed to sign several targets, including Dusan Vlahovic and Arthur Melo, with the former joining Juventus and the latter staying in Turin.
Arsenal has identified alternatives, but it remains to be seen whether they will have enough time to implement any of deals all the way to the finish line
The Gunners have managed to reduce their wage bill, but without any new arrivals, their squad is looking even more scarce.
With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang set to leave north London, there could be even more departures.
Moller, Nikolaj
Nikolaj Moller is set to spend the remainder of the season on loan with Eerste Divisie club FC Den Bosch.
During his first season with the Arsenal Under-23s, the Swede was dubbed the "new Zlatan Ibrahimovic."
After being recalled from a loan spell with German third division side FC Viktoria Koln, the 19-year-old was expected to compete with Mika Biereth for a starting spot in Kevin Betsy's side.
However, it appears that he will be joining Den Bosch on a short-term basis until the end of the season.
Arsenal is interested in Alexander Isak, but Real Sociedad is hesitant to sell.
Aubameyang, Pierre-Emerick
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is another deal that is likely to be completed on deadline day.
Barcelona have emerged as the frontrunners, with the striker reportedly willing to join them 'practically for free,' as his salary remains a stumbling block for the Spanish club.
After being stripped of his captaincy, Arteta has made it clear that Aubameyang is not in his plans, and it appears likely that he will find a new club on Monday.
A new striker has arrived.
If Aubameyang does leave the Emirates, there is a good chance that Arsenal will make a last-minute move to bring in a new number nine on deadline day.
