Arsenal have been told where they stand in signing Franck Kessie as a shock free transfer this window after the Ivorian midfielder as he could become a free agent once more this summer.
The former-AC Milan player only joined the Catalan club earlier in the window but due to ongoing financial difficulties and a lack of official La Liga squad space, both Andreas Christensen and Kessie could be back on the market before making their competitive debuts.
Fellow new signings Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Jules Kounde are all also yet to be registered with the league season just three days away. Due to the free contract deals that bought Kessie and Christensen to Spain the pair could activate a clause which would allow them to depart already.
