David Raya is expected to become their fourth summer recruit in a loan move from Brentford after Matt Turner departed to join Forest last week. Here are the latest transfer rumours from the Emirates Stadium. Kieran Tierney was not included in Arsenal's squad to face Forest due to tactical reasons - as the Scotland international continues to be linked with a move away from north London. According to Football Scotland, the left-back was fit to take on Forest should Arteta have wanted to include him, but, instead, he was omitted from the matchday squad entirely. Tierney has been subject to significant transfer interest so far this summer from Celtic among others, while Newcastle, Real Sociedad and Aston Villa have been credited with an interest. Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers was asked about Tierney earlier this week. He said: "I don't speak on what ifs. There's speculation around many players, naturally there's an association with Kieran and his past here and our past together but there's nothing to add to it. I want to add to the squad and if we can strengthen that I would be happy with that." Brighton's 48-hour deadline for rumoured Arsenal target Mohammed Kudus to make a decision on joining them has now expired, according to Voetbal International. The Seagulls reached a £40million agreement in){kind=link}
