Arsenal were rumoured to have turned their interest to Robert Lewandowski after missing out on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Karim Benzema, but their bid to land him also seems to have ended in vain.

Reports suggested that the Gunners were all but set to launch an audacious £35million bid for the former Borussia Dortmund marksman, but he was quick to refute such claims stating that he would don the Bayern Munich strip for yet another season.

I don’t believe the fans have already seen the best of me. I can, and will, be even better this season and I’m certain of that. It’s not always easy of course as there are so many factors involved. It’s vital we play well as a team.”

The Emirates Stadium outfit have extended the stay of Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud and that could be regarded as a sign of their disinterest to capture a striker.

Alex Iwobi and the likes may have also given Arsene Wenger a reason to reconsider his decision to make signings this summer.

As the departures of Lukas Podolski and Yaya Sanogo have left voids, the French manager; however, may be forced to make a compromise signing from the limited options available in order to maintain the squad depth.
