RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko has reportedly expressed his strong desire to join Arsenal over Chelsea and Manchester United. However, his agent has made it clear that a loan move in January is off the table. The situation is further complicated by Sesko's new contract, which doesn't include a release clause, and his commitment to developing his game at Leipzig. Arsenal's need for a striker has been amplified by Gabriel Jesus' injury, but acquiring Sesko in January appears improbable.
RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko has indicated his preference to join Arsenal over Premier League rivals Chelsea and Manchester United . Complicating matters further, Sesko's agent has stated that a loan move in January is not an option. Sesko was previously linked with Arsenal 's project last summer, choosing Leipzig over Chelsea and United but opting to remain in Germany for continued development.
The good news for Arsenal is that they have several concrete summer targets, suggesting a potential escalation of their pursuit for some in January. 'We need help' - Mikel Arteta sends a clear message to the Arsenal board regarding January transfers. Sesko's new contract does not include a release clause, and the player is dedicated to his development, ensuring he doesn't rush a move. Despite Leipzig's absence from the Champions League, they are vying for success in cup competitions and aiming for qualification in the next season. While a January transfer seems unlikely, Arsenal's need for a striker has intensified following Gabriel Jesus' cruciate ligament injury, which could sideline him for a year. Arteta acknowledged the situation, stating, 'We have very, very short numbers for many, many weeks, and they recognize the situation, we all do. That's why we are trying to do what is right for the club, the team, that's our intention.' He further emphasized the importance of assessing a player's mental fortitude and overall game intelligence beyond mere goal-scoring statistics. 'I always do it, especially if they know them because that's getting us away from the computer and what the data is saying and it is real,' he said. 'I have seen it, I sense it. A player can score a lot of goals, great. How does this player react when he hasn't scored for six or seven games? This is what I am interested in. What kind of goals does he score? Against which teams, in which context? Is it first half or second half? Is it only with his right foot, only headers, only in open spaces? Does he like the physical contact of this league? There are a lot of things. So when you have a player that has spent a lot of days with him, that is really valuable information to have.'
