    @bbcsport_david: Very reliably informed the only deal Arsenal are now working on is Arteta. Still some way off a deal but wheels in motion

    Looks like we're going to be at this up until the clock strikes midnight, and maybe we don't have real news until tomorrow. The excitement of deadline day doesn't disappoint.

    Bendtner to Blackburn?

    Can't see him leaving Arsenal to go to a mediocre EPL team. His ego won't allow it.

    Still no word on Almunia and Djourou, two players we heard would be moved today.

    Almunia's contract could be mutually terminated allowing him to sign on a free elsewhere.

    Djourou? I think he should stick around but he might see his opportunities at AFC fading.

    Nothing further on Augusto. Hate to think they are using him as leverage vs. Everton for Arteta.

    Arsenal are in talks with Everton over a deal to sign midfielder Mikel Arteta before the transfer window shuts.

    Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is keen to sign a midfielder after the departures of Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona and Samir Nasri to Manchester City.

    Arteta, 29, joined Everton from Real Socieded in 2005 and has scored 35 goals in 208 appearances.

    More to follow.

    Blackburn reportedly looking at Bendtner, valued at £8m. Doubt that will come to pass.

    QPR are interested in Bendtner. Stoke were never interested--they used him in a ploy to ensure Crouch signed.

    Don't know if QPR can afford to buy him or if he'd be interested in a loan spell. Expect him to stay.

    Arsenal so far can't come to terms with Arteta and his wage demands.

    Sky reporting that Benayoun could join Arsenal on loan.

    Apparently he makes a mint at Everton and is willing to come to Arsenal for close to £90,000/week which, given our board-enforced wage structure, seems a non-starter. Also the fact that when we buy him his value goes down about £5m/year.

    Bwahaha now Sunderland are linked with Bendtner. This is outlandish.

    @JackWilshere: Disagree with Ian Dowie..do you want Arsenal to buy Messi? Benayoun will create and score goals for us”

    All Israeli websites say Benayoun to Arsenal is done. Yossi was on his way to Liverpool but a phone conversation with Wenger sealed the deal.

    Sounds as thought the Benayoun deal is a one-year loan.
