David Ornstein reveals deadline day signing is 50/50

Arsenal have a 50 per cent chance of signing Paris Saint –Germain ace Christopher Nkunku. BBC Sport reporter David Ornstein believes Nkunku could be heading to the Emirates Stadium. “Arsenal pressed hard for Perisic,” Ornstein wrote on Twitter. “They want loan + option, Inter Milan want permanent or loan + obligation. So #AFC offered to pay penalty fee if loan doesn’t become permanent. No sign of #Inter budging. “Far lower numbers & effort in Carrasco pursuit. Nkunku said to be 50/50.” However, Nkunku’s agent claimed on Tuesday that a deal with Arsenal was unlikely. "I am here [in the studio] tonight, which is not a good sign," Jose-Pierre Fanfan said on Canal+show Late Football Club. "There is a real interest from Arsenal for Nkunku, but the discussions are quite complicated. There are restrictions from Arsenal’s side, they cannot do a transfer in the middle of the season. "It is still being discussed with PSG, things could still happen in the next 48 hours, but as I said, the fact that I am here means that it does not look good.”
