Mikel Arteta's men are flying high at the top of the Premier League following Arsenal's 2-0 away win over fierce rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon.
In turn, the Gunners now boast an eight-point lead over nearest challengers Manchester City, but even Arsenal in their current form can't evade transfer disappoinment of their own. After a long, drawn out saga, priority target Mykhaylo Mudryk has snubbed Arteta's advances to join London rivals Chelsea.
The Ukrainian international was unveiled to the Stamford Bridge faithful before the Blues' 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, confirming Arsenal's search will have to continue if they are to strengthen on what they currently have before the end of the month.
