Arsenal now appear open to signing a new striker during January's transfer window after the season-ending injury suffered by Gabriel Jesus and amid Bukayo Saka's continued absence.

Flamengo are believed to have held talks with Jorginho and his representatives. But according to Brazilian newspaper O Dia, the financial demands laid out by the Arsenal man are ' out of touch '. Flamengo have therefore rejected his contract terms and sent a counter-offer to see if they can land Jorginho without breaking the bank.
