Arsenal eye Bruun after world-record Russo bid rejected

Arsenal are trying to sign another striker if they cannot pull off a Deadline Day move for Alessia Russo and are in negotiations with Lyon for Signe Bruun.

The Gunners, who had a world-record bid for Russo rejected by Manchester United, are in talks with Lyon for Bruun but discussions are complicated given the late bid.

Bruun joined United on loan on Deadline Day last January and is thought to be open to a similar move to north London.

Arsenal have until midnight to get a deal done for Bruun, who has made 29 appearances for Denmark, as it is an international transfer.

Arsenal's offer for Russo was rebuffed by United with the current Women's Super League leaders unwilling to sell the striker so close to Tuesday's 5pm WSL deadline and to reinforce a rival.

United have been in contract talks with the England star for months but have made little progress.
