Tuesday morning's Premier League transfer talk news roundup:

Arsenal 'want to complete five deals on deadline day'

Arsenal are reportedly set for a busy transfer deadline day as they hope to finalise as many as five deals.

The Gunners have been among the Premier League's most active clubs already this month in terms of incoming and outgoing activity.

Mathew Ryan and Martin Odegaard have been signed on loan, Sead Kolasinac and William Saliba have been sent out on loan, and Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Mesut Ozil have been released on free transfers.

football.london reports that Arsenal do not intend to stop there, with technical director Edu in for a busy final day of the winter window.

It is claimed that Shkodran Mustafi will become the next player to have his contract terminated by the North London outfit, while a new club is being sought for Reiss Nelson, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Joe Willock for the rest of the campaign.

In terms of incoming activity, Mikel Arteta is said to be seeking a new left-back to provide competition for Kieran Tierney.

Crystal Palace's Patrick van Aanholt, who is into the final six months of his contract, is thought to be a possible option.

Manchester United 'make enquiry for £53m Pedro Goncalves'

Manchester United have reportedly made an enquiry to sign Sporting Lisbon midfielder Pedro Goncalves.

The 22-year-old, who spent two seasons in the academy at Wolverhampton Wanderers, has performed well for the Portuguese giants who are flying high at the top of the Primeira Liga table.

Portuguese outlet Record reports that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is interested in the playmaker and would be open to adding him to his side in the summer.

Goncalves is currently under contract with Sporting until 2025 but has a release clause believed to be worth £53m, a fee which United are reportedly willing to meet.

The Red Devils are understood to have made an approach for the player last month although no deal was agreed, while Liverpool are also keen to make a move next summer.

Goncalves has been one of Sporting's key players in their quest to win the league title, scoring 12 goals in 13 Primeira Liga matches and providing two assists.
