Arsenal hopes to clinch a bold double of two loans from Barcelona before closing the window in January, next week.

The Gunners had a long talk with the Spanish giants about the transfer of midfielder Denis Suarez. The Brazilian striker Malcom has now become one of the main targets.

According to The Sun, Arsenal will intensify its pursuit of the 21-year-old and is on red alert for any development over the next few days.

Malcom has been used sparingly by manager Ernesto Valverde this season, but the club hierarchy still envisioning a long-term future at Camp Nou, they could loan him to Unai Emery until the end of the season.

Arsenal will do Cahill SOS

Arsenal boss, Unai Emery, is expected to send an emergency SOS to Chelsea central defender, Gary Cahill, before the transfer window closes this week.

The fourth round of the FA Cup to Manchester United on Friday night left them with a serious injury crisis.

Sokratis Papastathopoulos is injured at the ankle while Laurent Koscielny was injured in the jaw in the 3-1 defeat.

The English international was informed that he could leave Stamford Bridge and aroused the interest of Fulham, who is fighting for the Premier League.

Emery also kept an eye on Cahill, who was out of contract and had no future in West London.

The Arsenal boss may only hire players on loan during this window and will weigh up if he can bring Cahill within the budget limits that he has been set.

Spalletti on Perisic

The director of Inter Milan, Luciano Spalletti, opened the door to the arrival of Ivan Perisic at Arsenal this month.

Arsenal wants a first loan for the Croatian winger with the possibility of signing it for £ 18m in the summer.

Inter took over against Torino on Sunday with a likely participation of Perisic, but Spalletti hinted that the Italian club will sanction his departure if the agreement is good for all parties.

"Perisic is a very good player, of course, there are rumors about him during the transfer.

"If a player is good, it's obvious that every club will want it, of course the numbers have to be enough to make things go smoothly."

"He knows his job and also knows that we expect him to continue working as he has done so far."
