Arsenal have once again left it late to sign a midfielder. The January transfer window slams shuts on Tuesday evening and the task of luring Moises Caicedo away from Brighton is proving difficult.
The Gunners saw a £60million bid turned down from the Seagulls last week, football.london understands, before another bid worth £70million was rebuffed on Sunday evening. Brighton have reiterated their stance that Caicedo is not for sale this month, despite the player's desire to leave the club.
As expected at a club of the stature of Arsenal, alternatives have been monitored throughout the window as Edu Gasper targets competition to Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey. Real Sociedad anchor Martin Zubimendi has been heavily linked with a move to north London, as has Youri Tielemans.
