Arsenal are weighing up a mid-season transfer for long-term target Benjamin Sesko following Gabriel Jesus’ injury, but face competition from a Premier League rival.

Arsenal have received a significant boost in their pursuit of Benjamin Sesko, as the RB Leipzig striker has expressed his desire to join the club. Reports from The Mirror suggest that Arsenal is considering making a massive £70 million bid for Sesko’s services, with the Gunners keen to strengthen their attacking options.

Sesko, a highly-rated young forward, has been on Arsenal’s radar for over a year. His consistent performances in the Bundesliga have caught the attention of several top clubs, but it appears that Arsenal’s project under manager Mikel Arteta is particularly appealing to him.

The Gunners have been linked with several strikers this transfer window, but Sesko’s potential move has gained momentum due to his expressed interest in joining the club. Arsenal’s need for reinforcements in attack has become more urgent following injuries to key players Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka.

Arteta has openly discussed the necessity of bolstering his squad, and Sesko’s arrival could provide the much-needed support in the forward line. The club is weighing up whether to make a move for Sesko in the ongoing transfer window or to wait until the summer.

With Sesko’s agent confirming his client’s interest in Arsenal, the Gunners are optimistic about securing his signature. However, they will face competition from other top clubs, including Chelsea and Manchester United, who are also keen on the Slovenian striker.
