Arsenal fans are saying the same thing as Atletico Madrid confirm Yannick Carrasco loan deal

Just hours remain until the January transfer window closes.

Arsenal confirmed the signing of Cedric Soares on loan from Southampton until the end of the season and he joins Pablo Mari as the two new arrivals at the Emirates Stadium this month.

But could the Gunners make one more signing before 11pm?

Head coach Mikel Arteta revealed in his pre-Burnley press conference that the club are likely done in the transfer market, but refused to completely rule out the prospect of more business.

"I will say no but you never no," he told reporters.

Well, this response coupled with La Liga giants Atletico Madrid resigning Yannick Carrasco- linked with a move to north London 12 months ago - has got fans speculating over a last minute deal.

The theory is that the Belgium international's return could allow for Thomas Lemar to leave the Spanish capital and join compatriots Alexandre Lacazette and Matteo Guendouzi in the English capital.

For much of the transfer window, the Frenchman has been linked with a move to Arsenal and there was even suggestions in Spain last week that a deal worth £33m was close to completion.

And with Atletico bolstering their attacking options by signing Carrasco on loan, there's some optimism amongst the Gunners faithful that Thomas Lemar to Arsenal is on.
