Latest Arsenal transfer news and gossip as RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko continue to be linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium

Benjamin Sesko 's agent has stoked reports of Arsenal interest in the striker during the January transfer window. Arsenal are on the hunt for a new striker following Gabriel Jesus 's ACL injury, which is set to sideline him into next season.
