Mikel Arteta admits Arsenal are in talks to send young players out on loan 'for their development', with Reiss Nelson and Ainsley Maitland-Niles set to leave the Emirates... but boss does not expect 'bad surprises' on deadline day

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is not expecting any 'bad surprises' on deadline day with a number of players potentially leaving on loan.

The Gunners have already bolstered their squad in two areas they had highlighted ahead of the transfer window opening, bringing in goalkeeper Mat Ryan and attacking midfielder Martin Odegaard on loan for the remainder of the season.

They have also been able to move on unwanted players with Mesut Ozil and Sokratis Papastathopoulos released from their contracts and Sead Kolasinac joining Schalke on loan - with his deal expiring in the summer.
