Arsenal could return for Lille winger Eden Hazard in January, according to Daily Star.
The Gunners reportedly made a last minute £28 million bid for the Frenchman, but the offer arrived too late for the deal to be completed before the deadline.
“The deal was very close to happening but it couldn’t be done in time,” a source told Daily Star.
“Negotiating had all but been done but Lille didn’t have a suitable player to come in for Hazard so it fell short. But Arsene will make it come January.”
The Gunners are expected to revive their interest in the Belgian in January, although the recent row between the two clubs could prove to be an obstacle to the deal.
Arsenal practically stole Park Chu-Young from under Lille’s noses, having lured the player to the Emirates after he had agreed a move to Lille.
