Agent: International striker can still join Arsenal in January despite failed summer move
ARSENAL still have a chance of signing Dinamo Moscow's Aleksandr Kokorin in January, according to the player's agent.
Aleksandr Kokorin came close to signing for Arsenal in the summer
The Gunners were reportedly close completing a summer move for the 24-year-old striker, who has three goals and an assist to his name this term.
Moscow boss Andrey Kobelev revealed last week that a deal would have been completed if Arsene Wenger tabled a permanent bid rather than a loan move.
And now his representative has talked up the possibility of the Russia international leaving in January for his desired club.
Cyril Loginov said: “Aleksandr, if all well informed, still has a chance [to move in the future] and not just to Arsenal.
Aleksandr Kokorin has scored three goals for Dinamo Moscow this season
Aleksandr Kokorin has 36 caps for Russia
“If Dinamo refused to give Aleksandr to Arsenal in the past transfer window, it does not mean that he can’t be where he wants [in the next window].
“We have a very good relationship with the coaching staff and the management of the football club Dynamo Moscow. We have, of course, been notified.”
