From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Arsenal secured the loan signing of Denis Suarez from Barcelona, but did not do any other deals despite being linked with former Atletico Madrid winger Yannick Carrasco, Inter Milan’s Ivan Perisic and PSG’s Christopher Nkunku.

The German transfer window has now shut, with no confirmation as of yet that Emile Smith Rowe is actually signing for RB Leipzig. We do expect the transfer to go through.

Maybe the player is travelling by Rowe-boat.

(Sorry. It has been a long day.)

Fancy a gander at Denis Suarez's first interview in an Arsenal shirt?

Of course you do...

EMILE SMITH ROWE JOINS RB LEIPZIG ON LOAN.

That may well conclude the Arsenal business for the day, one that promised much and delivered a little Spaniard.

But that seems to be all. Unai Emery did not get the winger he coveted with deals for Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco and Ivan Perisic failing to materialise, while there has not been even chatter of potential defensive reinforcements. Christopher Nkunku was linked heavily, but the midfielder remains at PSG.

Happy, Arsenal fans?

L'Equipe in Paris are suggesting that the Christopher Nkunku deal fell through due to problems financially on the Arsenal side.
