What happened. Arsenal approached Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez in the final days of the transfer window, but Inter refused to sell and the player had little desire to move.

• Arsenal missed out on Morgan Rogers, Vinicius Jnr and Julian Alvarez.
• Assistant manager Gabriel Heinze contacted Martinez last week.
• Martinez has three years left on his contract and scored 22 goals last season.

Arsenal's search for a striker continues, with the window now closed.
