What happened. Galatasaray have submitted a £38.4m opening bid for Gabriel Martinelli, and Arsenal are considering the offer, according to Sky Germany.

• Arsenal already sold Leandro Trossard to Besiktas this window.
• Christos Tzolis has arrived as a replacement on the left flank.
• Arteta wants to strengthen further, with Rogers, Barcola and Vinicius linked.

If accepted, the fee would break Arsenal's club-record sale, with the club eyeing a new-look left side.
