Thomas Tuchel has denied Arsenal the opportunity to make their first signing in January.
The Gunners are running out of options as multiple targets slip out of their grasp including Dusan Valhovic and Bruno Guimaraes.
The former is set to snub Mikel Arteta's men in favour of a switch to Juventus while Newcastle are set to hijack their move for Lyon star Guimaraes who is on the verge of completing a £30million move to Eddie Howe's men.
