Alavaro Morata has reportedly given Arsenal a ‘sharp no’ after the Gunners doubled down on their attempts to sign the former Chelsea striker.
The need for a new striker is clear at Arsenal with Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah set to follow Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang out of the Emirates exit door at the end of the season. The Gunners tried and failed to bring in a forward during January, with Aubamayng allowed to leave for Barcelona following a turbulent final few months in north London.
The likes of Dusan Vlahovic and Alexander Isak were linked with Arsenal, while reports on deadline day suggested they made a late play for Spain international Morata, which was snubbed by the player himself. The 29-year-old is currently with Juventus having signed a two-year loan deal from Atletico Madrid in 2020.
