Arsenal might get another chance to sign Raul de Tomas in the summer transfer window after a nightmare January.
Mikel Arteta had made signing a striker a main priority with his side bereft of a top goalscoring frontman after the ostracisation of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
After a breach of discipline in December, the 32-year-old was stripped of the captaincy at the Emirates and never played again.
