Arsenal have been told to consider signing Amadou Haidara or Sandro Tonali instead of launching a third bid for Moises Caicedo.
The Gunners saw their latest offer of £70m for Brighton star Caicedo knocked back by the Seagulls.
Former Liverpool midfielder Don Hutchinson believes they should be turning their attention to Haidara and Tonali.
“Caicedo is a very, very good player but there’s lots of Caicedos out there,” Hutchinson told ESPN. “There are loads of them and if he is valued at £80m and someone is willing to pay Brighton £80m, I would snap their hand off.
“I’ll tell you where they are [Caicedo alternatives], Haidara at RB Leipzig he’s another one, Tonali who is better at AC Milan, wouldn’t put Sander Berge in that but a young player, there are loads of these number eights out there that can close down.
“Caicedo, I think in about 40 games has scored one goal, there are lots of Caicedos. £80m?”
