A lot of Arsenal fans had expected big things for today as Deadline Day can be a very enjoyable day for the fans of clubs who decide to take part in late action. The Gunners believed that their club could be doing just that today, although David Ornstein has poured cold water on speculation linking them with Ivan Perisic and Yannick Carrasco.
Arsenal’s attempts to sign Ivan Perisic from Inter Milan or fellow-winger Yannick Carrasco of Dalian Yifang look to be over but they are still working on Paris-St German midfielder Christopher Nkunku after sealing Denis Suarez deal.

Over the course of the month, a lot of the Gunners believed that when they reached February 1st they’d already have a new winger in. Yannick Carrasco was heavily linked earlier in the month yet the more recent stories have been concerning World Cup finalist Ivan Perisic. But at the moment, both of them look set to end the window at their current clubs, Dalian Yifang and Inter Milan, respectively.
Whilst Ornstein’s update on the Gunner’s chase for a winger wasn’t what the fans wanted, the BBC journalist did give them something to be happy about as he claimed that they’re still looking into bringing in Christopher Nkunku from PSG. However, that minor positive simply isn’t enough to make the fans happy given the fact that they won’t be bringing in a much-needed wide-man.

Stan Kroenke the multi billionaire watching us scrapping around for loan deals because we’re skint.
The man is an utter disgrace to our club.— Peter (@Pietros1) 30 January 2019
Poverty club.

The summer budget will be no bigger than the summers just gone the club is a joke and listing to Simon Jordan earlier I’m betting he’s not far from the truth arsenal are slipping quickly away from the real elite and if it continues will flounder down in mid table

We’re being set up again here by AFC. If they know they’ll have money in the summer then there wouldn’t be an issue with an obligation to buy then. Also, £30 million wouldn’t realistically make any difference to our finances. It’s classic Kroenke mugging us off again.

The Gunners were fuming with their club at the prospect of not signing a winger and weren’t going to hide their frustrations at their club’s hierarchy.
