As Arsenal continue to look for loan signings before the transfer window closes tomorrow night, it appears as if both Ivan Perisic and Yannick Carrasco won’t be on their way in.
The former looks set to stay at Inter Milan, while negotiations between the Gunners and Chinese side Dalian Yifang are at an impasse.
However, they are keen to continue their pursuit of PSG midfielder Christopher Nkunku who is a summer target brought forward to January.
All this comes from the BBC’s David Ornstein, and also in the wake of reports that Mesut Ozil has turned down a loan move to the Qatari owned Ligue 1 side.
Carrasco was reportedly keen to return to Europe and take a pay cut from the bumper salary he’s on in China, but the departure of Sven Mislintat has caused a rethink from the Arsenal end.
Whether anything can be done with Nkunku remains to be seen. There are just over 24 hours to go before the transfer window closes, and it’s expected that the Gunners will make official the loan signing of Denis Suarez.
It was announced earlier by Barcelona that the deal had gone through, but they since deleted the update blaming a ‘technical error’ but the midfielder should be announced tomorrow as an Arsenal player until the end of the season.
