Arsenal’s record in the January transfer window is about as consistent as Tottenham’s form at the moment. One year is good the other non-existent, and this has put fans in a worrisome mindset when it comes to this winter.
Arsenal have one player whose name simply will not go away – Benjamin Sesko, the striker is still of keen interest to the club but so far that has not progressed and German media supports this with claims that talks have not been initiated between the clubs whatsoever.
Arsenal wanted Sesko in the summer but the situation, early in the window, simply did not allow for a move to materialise. The Gunners have missed out on key targets before like Lisandro Martinez, Mykhailo Mudryk and Mason Mount.
However, the club have shown the ability to pivot to other options when their primary target has not been gettable. Oleksandr Zinchenko, Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz were all brought in after the initial player moved elsewhere with varying levels of success.
However, with Sesko, this was not the case. This is not the first time this has happened either, with the summer of 2022 seeing the club make a move for Raphinha.
Eventually the Brazilian international would instead move to Barcelona where he has gone on to reach very high levels. His goal contributions this season have already breached the 30-figure with no sign of that slowing.
