Catch all the latest Arsenal transfer news and rumours, including updates on Ayden Heaven, Jhon Duran and Evan Ferguson.

The January transfer window is into the final week as Arsenal face a time crunch to get any moves over the line for the rest of the season.

In terms of potential signings, the Gunners are looking at forwards and potential loan options, while a wonderkid could also be on the cards before the end of the market.

There could be some exits for Mikel Arteta as well as plenty of names have been touted with a move away.

So with that said, here’s a look at the latest Arsenal transfer news and rumours ahead of the day.

Arsenal medical booked for Ayden Heaven exit

Arsenal youngster Ayden Heaven is set to complete an exit over the coming days as a switch to Manchester United is on the cards.

That’s according to Fabrizio Romano, who claims that a full agreement has been met over a move for the defender.

The 18-year-old, who didn’t sign a new contract with the Gunners, has got a medical booked before the proposed transfer.

Manchester United beat Eintracht Frankfurt and an offer from Arsenal to secure Heaven as a future prospect.

Jhon Duran transfer update

Arsenal have been linked with a potential transfer for Aston Villa ace Jhon Duran over the coming days of the transfer window.

The striker continues to be rumoured with a possible exit, despite recently signing a new contract with the Villains.

While the North London outfit appear to be in for a swoop, they aren’t alone as Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr are also on the radar.

According to The Athletic, there is debate within the club as to whether they pursue Duran or Bayer Leverkusen’s Victor Boniface.

It remains to be seen which forward Al Nassr push on to sign, but it is likely to impact Arsenal in one way or another.

Evan Ferguson transfer switch latest

Another young forward on the radar at Arsenal in recent months has been Brighton’s Evan Ferguson.

The Republic of Ireland international has shown plenty of promise but with a lack of game time and some injury troubles, an exit could be on the cards.

While a loan deal seemed most likely, recent reports have stated that the Seagulls would be open to a permanent move.

On that note, Sky Sports reporter Mark McAdam claims that Bayer Leverkusen are currently leading the race for Ferguson.

Talks are underway, though it’s unclear how much of the move could be dependent on Boniface’s potential move.
