Another day and more transfer news involved Arsenal with players ruling out moves, last ditch bids about to occur and scouting mission being completed.
Firstly the Metro report that Arsenal target Jackson Martinez has signed a new deal with Porto, which puts an end to any transfer this window.
Reports were rife that Chelsea as well as Arsenal were interested in activating his £34 million release clause but Martinez’ agent has admitted he is on the verge of signing a new contract.

Arsenal face the supposedly small task of defeating lowly Coventry City in the FA Cup in order to pass through the FA Cup’s 4th Round stage.
Having beaten Spurs easily in the last round, Arsene Wenger’s men need only to overcome a City side vying for promotion into League Two following their descent from the Premier League, beginning in 2001.
Since then they have dropped through the Leagues, and this year took a 10 point deduction due to going into administration at the start of the season. They have all but made up for it, taking 34 points from their 26 games.
They’ve since moved to a stadium in Northampton due to their failure to pay the rent in their 33,000 seater Ricoh Arena but their form has improved in the lower league.

Mirko Vučinić has been in the news a fair amount over the last few days, first he was linked with a move to Arsenal and then the big swap deal involving Fredy Guarín.
Vučinić was meant to be transferring to Inter Milan and Guarín moving to Juventus, but Internazionale moved the goal posts with the deal all but agreed.
This leaves Vučinić in limbo over his immediate future. Sky Italia have already reported that Juventus are happy to keep the Montenegrin unless they receive a good offer.
The Evening Standard waded into the topical debate this morning when they revealed that Arsenal have asked Juventus to keep them updated about Vučinić’s availability.

Arsenal have rejected an enquiry from Italian side Napoli over the availability of Thomas Vermaelen.
Vermaelen has been stuck on the bench for the majority of this season, having suffered a knee injury which has kept him out of action for a noticeable spell.
Another factor in the Belgian’s benching has been down to the form of defensive duo Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny, which has intensified the rumours surrounding possible loan and permanent moves away from the Emirates.

Arsenal’s club captain Thomas Vermaelen has been nothing but a benchwarmer this season; this isn’t due to Vermaelen not performing well enough but actually due to the unbeatable Mertesacker and Koscielny partnership.
Rumours have again came out in the press today that the Belgian could be on his way out of the club as he has quite a few clubs interested in him.
Starting with West Ham, they have a very shaky defence this season and could really do with back up; although Allardyce himself has been quoted saying it is unlikely for them to sign someone of Vermaelen’s calibre:
