- Alexis Sanchez is unlikely to be risked by Wenger at the weekend
Arsene Wenger has hinted Arsenal transfer business is finished after the capture of Gabriel.
The transfer window shuts on Monday night, but having signed Gabriel and Krystian Bielik, Wenger - who says Francis Coquelin is '99 per cent' certain to sign a new contract - says his chequebook is now likely to stay closed.
'If someone stands in front of my door and he is an exceptional player - I will open the door,' said Wenger.
'But it looks unlikely.'

One club who will not be making any more moves before Monday night's deadline are Arsenal... that is if you take the word of manager Arsene Wenger.
Wenger this week signed defender Gabriel Paulista from Villarreal for £11.2million to add to the signing of 17-year-old Polish midfielder Krystian Bielik early on in the window.
Wenger today said: 'It looks unlikely.'
Liverpool have been quiet in the transfer market so far this month but could be busy late on with a move for England Under 21 striker Danny Ings.
Ings has impressed for Burnley in his first season in the Premier League with seven goals in 19 matches and the Clarets could be tempted by an offer with this contract expiring in the summer.
Liverpool's striking woes have been well documented this season with Rickie Lambert, Fabio Borini and - most notably - Mario Balotelli all struggling to fill the void left by Luis Suarez's departure for Barcelona and Daniel Sturridge's injury problems.
We're expecting news on Andre Schurrle's future today as he undergoes his medical at Wolfsburg back in his German homeland.
The World Cup-winning winger has only been at Chelsea for 18 months but is being shipped out to make room for the signing of Juan Cuadrado from Fiorentina.
