The race for Bournemouth forward, Antoine Semenyo is now beginning to intensify, however, Arsenal are not expected to be involved in the winter transfer scramble for the explosive Ghana international.
That's because the table-topping Gunners are poised to oversee a quiet January window following an ambitious, record-breaking summer executed by masterful sporting director Andrea Berta.
Semenyo's release clause, worth an initial £60 million plus £5m in bonuses, will be active at the start of 2026 and Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham are all weighing up the prospect of putting the cash on the table for the highly-rated 25-year-old.
Barring a drastic U-turn, Arsenal are not planning to throw their hat into the ring. They remain compliant with Premier League PSR regulations but are believed to be sailing close to the wind where UEFA's Squad Cost Ratio limits are concerned.
Those financial restrictions limit club's on-pitch spending to a maximum of 70 per cent of their total revenue so unless there's a notable sale, which looks unlikely at this stage, further big-money business in January does not appear to be realistic.
Not only that but Arsenal are also satisfied with the makeup of their current squad which has yielded impressive results in the Premier League, Champions League and Carabao Cup respectively, so far this term.
