Arsenal have internally discussed making a move for RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko during their January transfer planning.
Benjamin Sesko appears to be a prime target for Arsenal as they make plans for the January transfer window.
That is according to Football Transfers, who report that Arsenal have mentioned Sesko during recent transfer discussions.
The January transfer window is fast approaching and Arsenal are plotting potential additions to Mikel Arteta’s squad.
A midfielder may be on the radar with Thomas Partey going through injury problems, but a new striker is wanted too.
Arsenal target RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko
Ivan Toney has been heavily linked whilst some are dreaming of seeing Napoli striker Victor Osimhen arrive in a big-money deal.
Football Transfers now report that Arsenal have been discussing a move for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.
It’s claimed that Arsenal have put together a shortlist of targets to bolster Arteta’s attack.
Sesko is one of them and Arsenal could try their luck with a January move for the Slovenian hitman.
RB Leipzig paid £20million to sign Sesko in 2022 but allowed him to stay with partner club Red Bull Salzburg for the whole of last season.
Sesko is a huge talent for the future but he has only started three Bundesliga games so far this season.
Three goals in 300 minutes of league action shows Sesko’s potential, whilst he has also bagged one Champions League goal this term.
Whether RB Leipzig are willing to let Sesko leave so soon after arriving is unclear but Arsenal may still make an attempt.
Hailed as a ‘special’ player by former RB Leipzig technical director Christopher Vivell, Sesko could be a star of the Arsenal attack for years to come.
A huge presence at 6ft 4in tall with an impressive turn of pace, Sesko has been likened to Erling Haaland and Arsenal could add a new dimension by landing him in January.
