Arsenal see £22m offer rejected for Mason Greenwood's Getafe team-mate Borja Mayoral as Mikel Arteta bids to solve striker problems

The Gunners are in the market for more firepower during the January transfer window, with the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz and Eddie Nketiah failing to convince at Emirates Stadium. Mikel Arteta wants another proven goalscorer in a bid to keep Premier League and Champions League title challenges on track.

According to The Sun, with Arsenal being priced out of a move for £100m-rated Brentford striker Ivan Toney, attention in north London has turned to Getafe star Mayoral. An initial approach for the 26-year-old forward is said to have been rejected, with his current employers holding out for closer to £39m ($50m).

Mayoral has registered 12 La Liga goals for Getafe this season, with only England international Jude Bellingham – who has made a stunning impact at Real Madrid – able to better that return. Mayoral has combined with Manchester United loanee Greenwood for three of his efforts, with the pair striking up a useful on-field understanding.

Mayoral has been with Getafe since 2022, having initially joined on loan, and was linked with a Premier League move back in 2021 when Crystal Palace were reported to have expressed interest in securing his signature.
