Mikel Arteta will be eager to strengthen his squad before the January transfer window slams shut. Several big names have been linked with moves to Arsenal this month, but they're yet to welcome any new faces to the Emirates Stadium.

Flamengo are believed to have held talks with Jorginho and his representatives. But according to Brazilian newspaper O Dia, the financial demands laid out by the Arsenal man are ' out of touch '. Flamengo have therefore rejected his contract terms and sent a counter-offer to see if they can land Jorginho without breaking the bank.

Arsenal have just over two weeks to make new singings before the January transfer window slams shut and RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko has been tipped for a mega £70million move

Arsenal are still actively scouring the striker market for a January opportunity, but a move for top target Benjamin Sesko won't materialise until the summer, according to a report. The Gunners failed to reinforce their centre-forward department last summer after Sesko snubbed them in favour of extending his RB Leipzig contract.
