Entering the final hours of the January transfer window, Arsenal are working to complete three deals before the 23:00 (GMT) deadline in England.

Arsenal are set to offload three players before Thursday’s transfer deadline.

The three players in question are Lino Sousa, Charles Sagoe Jr, and Bradley Ibrahim, according to a report from the Evening Standard.

At the time of writing, Ibrahim is the only player to have left Arsenal so far. The 19-year-old midfielder, who captained the U-18 team to last season’s FA Youth Cup final, has joined Hertha BSC in the German second division. His transfer fee has not been disclosed.

Sousa, on the other hand, is expected to sign for Aston Villa on a four-and-a-half-year contract. The 19-year-old left-back will then go out on loan to Championship team Plymouth Argyle.

Sagoe Jr could also be on his way to the Championship, with Swansea chasing his signature. The Swans hope to sign the 19-year-old forward on loan.

If the deal goes through, Sagoe Jr will become the second Arsenal player to join Swansea on loan this season after Charlie Patino.

These moves will complete a relatively quiet transfer window for Arsenal in January. The Gunners have not made a single signing. Their only move so far was to recall Marquinhos from his loan spell at French team Nantes.
