Arsenal misses opportunity to sign Serhou Guirassy for €40 million

Arsenal has reportedly missed a deadline to secure a deal for Borussia Dortmund forward Serhou Guirassy at a cost of €40 million, as the clause allowing for this transfer expired on July 15. Guirassy has emerged as a top player at Dortmund, and Arsenal's delay may result in a higher asking price if they pursue him now. The club is actively seeking to strengthen its attack, with notable potential departures, including Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus. Arsenal had previously sold Leandro Trossard and continues searching for forward options as the transfer window progresses.
