Arsenal continue to be linked with RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko in the January transfer window. The Gunners are actively looking for an attacking addition this month which has seen several names emerge of interest as injuries continue to impact Mikel Arteta.
“Yes, for sure, because we lost two big players – Bukayo could be out for three months, and Gabby is going to be out for a long time too,” he told TNT Sport when asked about signing a new forward. “We are going to try for sure. We are actively looking.
A loan move for Sesko appears an option, while Arsenal taking advantage of the gentleman’s agreement he has with Leipzig for a move this summer, is another decision that must be made by all relevant parties.

Arsenal need a solution to their attacking woes and they need it imminently. Whether or not they could actually sign Sesko this month however, is another matter.
Leipzig clearly don’t want to let him go in the middle of a season without signing a replacement and given his decision to stay in Germany came just six months ago, it is unlikely his stance has drastically changed. With that being said, this is certainly a different scenario than the one Arsenal presented him last summer.
