Arsenal looked set to complete their first signing of the January window with Flamengo defender Pablo Mari arriving in London at the weekend for a medical, but negotiations have reportedly since stalled putting a move in doubt. Reports emerged over the weekend that the Gunners were closing in on a move for Mari with the player spotted travelling from Rio de Janeiro with Arsenal technical director Edu. But the Daily Mail report the deal could potentially be off with negotiations stalling in the final hour. Mari has now headed back to Brazil with Arsenal said to be looking at alternative targets with a move for the 26-year-old now looking unlikely.
