Arsenal reportedly rejected the opportunity to secure the services of Paris Saint-Germain star Mauro Icardi in the January transfer window.
The Gunners were on the hunt for a forward throughout the winter window having allowed former captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to join Barcelona.
Fiorentina forward Dusan Vlahovic was spoken of as Arsenal’s preferred target but the Serbian instead elected to join Serie A giants Juventus, with the north Londoners then being left without any attacking recruits.
