| Andriy Yarmolenko is being targeted by Europe's biggest club |
ARSENE WENGER'S hopes of bolstering his side's attacking options have suffered a setback after Andriy Yarmolenko rejected a move to Arsenal.
The Ukraine international has been linked with a move to Everton during the transfer window and recently reports in Spain claimed Barcelona were also interested in the 25-year-old.
According to Spanish publication Sport, Yarmolenko was contacted by Wenger over the possibility of a move to the Emirates.
But Yarmolenko's response to Wenger was: "I am very grateful but my dream is to play for Barca."
Arsenal retain an interest in Karim Benzema and Edinson Cavani after a difficult start to the season and increasing pressure from supporters.
The Dynamo Kiev striker is viewed by Barcelona as a emergency alternative' to their current problems following the exit of Pedro to Chelsea and Neymar suffering from mumps.
Arda Turan and Aleix Vidal have signed for Barcelona but cannot be registered to play until January under the conditions of their transfer embargo.
