Arsenal attempted to sign Barcelona defender Junior Firpo towards the end of the January transfer window, according to reports.
The Gunners made an approach for the left-back in an attempt to secure cover for Kieran Tierney.
The Scotland international is firmly established as Mikel Arteta’s first-choice pick in that position, but there is little in the way of natural cover for Tierney.
“Junior is with us and he did well in the minutes he has had,” Ronald Koeman said in January.
“It depends on what each young player wants, we cannot lose all the players either. We need a squad to face the many games that remain.”
Southampton’s Ryan Bertrand and Crystal Palace duo Tyrick Mitchell and Patrick van Aanholt were also linked with a January switch to Arsenal.
Arteta’s side suffered a 2-1 defeat by Wolves on Tuesday, with David Luiz and Bernd Leno both shown red cards at Molineux.
