Top Arsenal transfer target Ivan Toney was left out of Brentford's clash against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Boss Thomas Frank said the England star’s absence was in regards to "transfer interest" in his striker, with "a lot going on".
But Toney has been reportedly targeted by a Saudi Arabian club, with Fabrizio Romano claiming that the 28-year-old remains on their transfer shortlist.
Arsenal fans have been waiting for the Gunners to make another signing this window.
An update on Mikel Merino may mean they do not have to wait much longer.
Real Sociedad will send Merino to Arsenal with no hard feelings after a transfer worth £30m has been agreed.
And a medical will be booked once the final terms of the deal are settled.
