The summer transfer window has now closed, with Arsenal pulling off one of the standout deals on deadline day.

The Gunners triggered the release clause of Thomas Partey to cap off a relatively busy summer which saw the likes of Willian and Gabriel Magalhaes join too, and attention will now begin to turn to January.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings at the Emirates Stadium.

Sunday morning's Arsenal transfer talk news roundup:

Barcelona presidential candidate makes Arsenal's Hector Bellerin top target?

Barcelona presidential candidate Joan Laporta has reportedly identified Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin as his top transfer target should he assume office in Catalonia.

Bellerin came through the youth ranks at Barcelona before moving to North London in 2011, where he has quickly become the Gunners' first-choice right-back.

However, the 25-year-old has not been immune from criticism this season and returned from a suspension in time to face Everton in the Premier League, but Mikel Arteta opted to select Ainsley Maitland-Niles in that 2-1 defeat on Saturday evening.

Now, The Mirror reports that Laporta - supposedly the frontrunner to become Barcelona's new president - has earmarked Bellerin as his priority target for the summer if he lands the Blaugrana job next month.

The report claims that contact has already been made with Bellerin's entourage, and an initial fee of £22m has been tabled for the Spain international.

Bellerin, who is under contract at the Emirates Stadium until 2023, was previously linked with a move to French champions Paris Saint-Germain over the summer.

The right-back has made 14 appearances in all competitions for Arteta's side this term, registering four assists in red and white.

Matteo Guendouzi 'set for permanent Arsenal exit'

Hertha Berlin are reportedly keen to sign Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi on a permanent deal.

The 21-year-old saw his relationship with the Gunners break down in the latter stages of last season and subsequently joined Hertha on loan for the 2020-21 campaign.

The Frenchman has been in impressive form for the German outfit, contributing one goal and one assist in seven Bundesliga appearances.

According to Del Tagesspiegel, Hertha want to sign the midfielder on a permanent deal and are planning on entering talks with Arsenal over a potential fee.

An altercation with Brighton & Hove Albion's Neal Maupay in June led to Guendouzi losing his spot in the Gunners squad, and he ended the season training away from Mikel Arteta's side.

The France Under-21 international's contract at the Emirates Stadium is due to expire in June 2022.
