Arsenal transfer latest: Arsene Wenger on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Malcom, Alexis Sanchez and more

With just under two weeks left of the January transfer window, it looks set to be a busy one at Arsenal.

The Alexis Sanchez saga continues to rumble on, with a move to Manchester United now seemingly imminent, though Armenian playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan could be coming the other way.

The Gunners are also set to move on wantaway Borussia Dortmund forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, as Arsene Wenger looks to revitalise his forward line.

The Frenchman sat down to face the media ahead of Saturday’s trip to Crystal Palace and, rather uncharacteristically, gave up quite a lot on the potential incomings and outgoings in north London this month.


INCOMINGS

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

"I have nothing to add on that. This kind of thing is better when it’s secret and when you don't comment before announcing it when it's over the line.

"Would he fit in? Yes because character can be a very positive note and negative but overall you look at the achievement of a player over his career and when it's been positive the character has been used in a positive way."


Henrikh Mkhitaryan

“It's a possibility it's because I like the player. We played many times against him when he was at Dortmund. He appreciated the quality of our games. The wages would not be a problem."


Malcom

"No. I don’t think we are close to doing that. No, I don’t think so.


Jonny Evans

"There's nothing to add at the moment."


OUTGOINGS

Alexis Sanchez

"That is a story where you are well documented in the media so I do not have a lot to add to that," Wenger says. "It can happen, it can as well not happen.

"If it doesn't happen he will play on Saturday.

"I worked on transfers for 30 years so it is likely to happen but at any moment or minute things can break down. As long as it's not over the line you have to accept it may not happen. These kind of things are not guaranteed."


Mesut Ozil

Wenger is adamant that the Germany international will not be sold this month.


Jack Wilshere

"We know what we want. We want him to stay.

"After that we have to find a financial agreement with Jack that is good for him. That’s what we’re trying to do."
