Arsenal hope to keep Chelsea striker Demba Ba in England this season.
Ba is a January target for Turkey's Besiktas.
But the Daily Express says Arsenal remain keen on the Senegalese striker as back-up for Olivier Giroud.
The Gunners last-minute loan move for Ba over the summer failed because Chelsea did not wish to aid a rival, and it remains to be seen whether anything has changed in the interim that would allow the player to make the move to the Emirates in January.
