The Gunners left it late to complete the deal, meeting the player's 45 million pounds release clause in the final moments before the close of the transfer window this morning.

Another big deadline-day deal saw Man United complete the signing of free agent Edinson Cavani. 

The 33-year-old striker has not played competitively since leaving PSG in June, but brings a wealth of experience, having scored 341 goals in over 500 club matches over his career.

United have also brought in left-back Alexander Telles, who joins from Porto for just over 13 million pounds.
