Arsenal prepared for exciting transfer development after rejecting offer for 24-year-old
Arsenal are targeting a new striker this month.
Landing one won’t be easy though. It’s no secret – the January market is notoriously hard to navigate with selling clubs taking advantage of buyer’s desperation.

The likes of Victor Osimhen and Dusan Vlahovic are thought to be on the Spaniard’s shortlist, but either deal will be almost impossible to finalise this month.
