Arsenal rejected an offer to sell Alexandre Lacazette over the summer, it has been revealed.
The Gunners concentrated on keeping Lacazette's strike-partner Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the last transfer window.
But they still rebuffed Roma's offer as too low.
The Athletic's David Ornstein tweeted: "Arsenal did receive a substantial offer towards the end of the transfer window just gone from Roma for Lacazette.
"It fell below their valuation for him & so he stayed put. I can't imagine that situation would develop again in January."
