Arsenal transfer news: Gunners 'offered top target but cannot afford him'. Unai Emery has reportedly been offered the chance to sign winger Yannick Carrasco this January, but Belgian football expert Kristof Terreur says Arsenal can't afford him.
Carrasco, formerly of Atletico Madrid, is believed to be desperate to leave his Chinese Super League club Dalian Yifang this month as his family have struggled to settle in the country.
But speaking on Sky Sports' Transfer Talk podcast , Terreur says the huge wages he earns in China are a stumbling block to suitors.
"Arsenal are looking for a winger, but do not have the money to buy him," said Terreur.
"If they are considering to take him on loan, he will have to take a pay-cut, because he earns around 180,000 euros a week. It's a lot of money.
It's difficult for him to find a new club when he's on big wages. I think that will run until the last days of the transfer window, where some clubs become desperate, and maybe Arsenal will be one.
"But at the moment, he has just been offered there, they have not made a proposal, so now there are no negotiations ongoing, but they have been made aware that he is available, and Unai Emery of course knows him from his period in Spain."
Terreur also claimed that Manchester United looked at Carrasco, but decided against a move for him due to the attacking talents already at the club.
"He just wants to leave China, and his people are offering him everywhere," he continued.
"He wants to go to England, he wants to be closer to home.
"But I do not think Manchester United need this type of player right now, if you have Rashford, Lukaku, Lingard, Martial, Sanchez, Mata, so I don't think he would play over there."
