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 have therefore rejected his contract terms and sent a counter-offer to see if they can land Jorginho without breaking the bank.
