arsenal

Arsenal have blocked yet another star from January exit. Earlier, they did the same with Jorginho who was looked upon by Brazilian club Flamengo.

The January window has approached last couple of days and clubs have stepped up their activity in the market. But, Gunners are yet to get any breakthrough in the pursuit of any of their targets. They are unwilling to give up and will try until the deadline day.

As per the outgoings, many stars were linked with exits. However, the situation is same here too with no deals advancing at the moment. Earlier, there were reports of Brazilian club Flamengo trying to sign Jorginho in this window.

The Italian is in final 6 months of his contract and it seems he will not be offered contract extension. Hence, Gunners had perfect opportunity to bag some profit by selling the midfielder mid-season.

But, the North London club has opted against it and are keen to keep Jorginho until the end of the season. Mikel Arteta will like to have proper squad depth and have taken similar approach in the case of one more star.

Arsenal block Tierney’s January move

Kieran Tierney is another player who will have his contract expired at the end of the season. He has agreed personal terms with Celtic and will return to his boyhood club very soon. Celtic were also interested to sign the left-back this month itself.

However as per The Telegraph, Gunners have made it clear that Tierney will stay at North London until the end of the season. Arteta also wants to keep proper depth in the defensive line too as Zinchenko is closing in on exit.

This will allow Tierney to leave Gunners for free in the summer. He has already signed pre-contract with Celtic marking an emotional return in summer. This deal will help him to revive his career at the crucial stage of his career.
