Arsenal drop Striker interest

Arsenal are no longer interested in signing Dynamo Kiev forward Aleksandr Kokorin.

The Gunners had failed with a loan move for the Russian international over the summer, and this led to claims that they may seek to revive their interest during the winter transfer window.

However, Russian sources reveal that the FA Cup holders have dropped their interest in the 24-year-old, as manager Arsene Wenger is content with the efforts of Olivier Giroud upfront this season.

Arsene Wenger's side are currently top of the Premier League following a no-score draw against Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium on Sunday.
