Arsenal transfer news: Gunners fail to land Miguel Almiron this window but player’s agent says deal is close

ARSENAL failed in their approach for Miguel Almiron in this transfer window – but his agent says the move is still likely "in the future".

The Paraguayan international midfielder, who plays for Lanus in Argentina, was expected to replace Bournemouth loanee Jack Wilshere.

But despite Almiron's agent confirming the Gunners' interest, the club failed to reach a deal for the 22-year-old.

And Daniel Campos told , that he thinks his client will join Arsenal at some point.

He said: "Actually there was an approach, but it didn’t go any further. I see it more for the future.”

“No doubt he’d be delighted to play in the Premier League and for Arsenal."

Almiron made his international debut at this summer's Copa America.

Arsene Wenger finally opened his chequebook this summer despite admitting he spent the club's money as if it were his own.

The Frenchman splashed out 88million on Shkodran Mustafi, Lucas Perez, Granit Xhaka, Rob Holding and Takuma Asano.
