Leeds United have now been offered one final chance to sign a £64m attacker, who is desperate to complete a move away from his current club, according to reports.
£64m attacker desperate for Leeds move
It's not been the busiest January transfer window by any means at Elland Road. Daniel Farke's side have welcomed just one signing in the form of Facundo Buonanotte and have enjoyed the privilege of sitting outside the relegation zone and not in a desperate position to welcome several reinforcements.
Defeat against Arsenal could have seen the gap between themselves and West Ham United in the bottom three close to just three points, however, and that's a timely reminder that the Whites could regret a quiet January if they don't act on deadline day.

It would be their best move yet under the 49ers.
To that end, there are certainly plenty of rumours surrounding the 49ers' potential movement. Names such as Jorgen Strand Larsen have been mentioned, for example, in what would be a sensational hijack on Crystal Palace at this stage.
Reports are claiming that the Eagles have agreed a deal to sign the Wolverhampton Wanderers' forward, but their move may rely on Jean Philippe-Mateta's departure to AC Milan, which is yet to be completed.
A striker certainly wouldn't go amiss at Elland Road. As impressive as Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been, his injury record suggests that Leeds are likely to need an adequate backup at some stage this season and Strand Larsen would be the perfect candidate for that role and more.
He's not the only option, however. Reports have also name-dropped a big-money striker, who is desperate to leave his current club before the deadline arrives.
According to TeamTalk, Leeds have been offered one final chance to sign Jhon Duran in a desperate approach from his agent, who is looking to move his client onto better things midway through the current campaign.
Leeds should take full advantage of Duran offer
It's not the first time that the Whites have been offered Duran this month. They were approached about a potential move alongside a number of Premier League clubs earlier in the window, and have now been offered it once again alongside Nottingham Forest, Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest.
This time around, it's one that Leeds should accept. The former Aston Villa forward, who completed a £64m move to Al-Nassr last January, now wants a return to English football off the back of a miserable spell not helped by a disappointing loan move to Fenerbahce.

At 22 years old, he is still very much a striker full of potential and his availability on loan takes away the risk of spending big for the 49ers. It is a win-win situation.
Duran certainly impressed at Aston Villa the last time that he graced the Premier League and as he looks to return to form, Leeds could be the next club to benefit.
