Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta appears to have been turned down by another striker as he aims to fill the void left by former captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Gunners boss has his heart set on bringing in at least one new forward during the summer transfer window, with Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah looking increasingly likely to leave when their contracts expire at the end of the season. And former Chelsea forward Alavaro Morata has reportedly given the club a "sharp no" after they contacted him over a move.

It comes as club legend Ian Wright dealt the club a serious hit to their top four hopes by insisting there is "no way" they can steal a Champions League spot from bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur. And Emmanuel Petit "completely agrees" that the Gunners need a host of new players before they can start challenging for silverware.
