# Sky Sports reporter says Arsenal unlikely to make any deadline day signings

**Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge says that Arsenal’s priority on transfer deadline day is going to be outgoings rather than incomings.**

Mikel Arteta’s side have spent more than anyone else in the Premier League, but their starting line-up hasn’t been massively strengthened, with many of their signings coming in as squad players.

Arsenal’s five summer additions have cost more than [£130m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-arsenal/transfers/verein/11), but their business hasn’t helped their early-season results.

Following their 5-0 hammering at Manchester City on Saturday, the Gunners head into the international break rock-bottom of the Premier League table on zero points, with nine goals conceded and they are yet to find the net themselves.

Only one of their five signings in Martin Odegaard was involved at the Etihad Stadium and he was hooked after 70 minutes with Arsenal trailing 4-0.

Despite their need for players, Bridge told **[The Transfer Tavern](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/)** that their business today is likely to revolve around moving players on rather than adding to their squad:

*“There’s nothing coming out at the moment. They have spent a hell of a lot of money. Unless something comes out of the woodwork, it’s outgoings for them – Bellerin, Maitland-Niles and Nketiah.*

*“I have not heard anything in terms of incomings since their double signing of Odegaard and Ramsdale.”*
