Jeremy Wilson of the Daily Telegraph believes Arsenal are only going to sign Kim Kallstrom in the final day of the January transfer window, putting to bed any stories linking Miroslav Klose with an Emirates move.

There is still hope that Arsène Wenger can spring a ‘Mesut Özil’ type surprise but it seems increasingly unlikely.

Targets deemed too expensive

Goal.com’s Wayne Veysey did state earlier that Wenger was targeting Blaise Matuidi and Morgan Schneiderlin but predictably, the duo were “deemed too expensive” and so Kallstrom is the final option.

Earlier we spoke about Emmanuel Frimpong leaving the club to be replaced by Kallstrom and alluded to the links with Klose but it all seems unlikely now.

The Spartak Moscow midfielder will be signed to cover various injuries and suspensions recently suffered in midfield and allow Wenger to look at more proven and illustrious targets in the summer.

With under six hours remaining in the January transfer window, the signing of the Swedish 31-year-old will most likely be the only signing sanctioned by Wenger and Arsenal.

Fans will still be wishing for an Özil moment like we received in the last transfer window and rest assured Arsenal Latest will keep you up-to-date if anything occurs, although it does seem unlikely. Very unlikely.
