NO Higuain. No Rooney. No Suarez, yet. But don't worry Arsenal fans, the club is not closing its eyes to the transfer market.

In a naggingly familiar style, the Gunners have offered trials to a couple of players from abroad that fans are unlikely to have heard of before.

Little known Angers midfielder Alhrabi El Jadeyaoui is with the club on a two-day trial. The 26 year old left footed midfielder, who can play either centrally or out wide, is believed to be rated at £3million by the French club and also sought by Lyon and Toulouse.

Angers pulled him out of their clash with Istres at the weekend, in order to make sure he stays injury free for his training stint with Arsenal.

Also in for a trial is 20 year old midfielder Atlético Nacional star Sebastian Perez for a week. Although the deal has not been made official, the Colombian was pictured with Thomas Vermalean at the Arsenal training ground in London Colney two days ago.
