Arsenal have reportedly improved their bid for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko as Mikel Arteta has identified him as the perfect signing up front.
The Slovenia international has been on fire for RB Leipzig in the last couple of seasons, showing himself to be one of the most exciting young talents in Europe.
With a record of 19 goals and two assists in all competitions for club and country so far this season, Sesko is showing why he’s being linked with the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United by talkSPORT and other outlets.
There’s been another update on Sesko’s future as Todo Fichajes state that the Gunners have made an improved offer of €70m to try to sign the 21-year-old this January.
It remains to be seen, however, if his current club will let him go in the middle of the season.
Benjamin Sesko transfer: Arsenal are clearly not giving up
As per the earlier report from talkSPORT, Arsenal may have to wait until the summer to have a better chance of signing Sesko.
Still, Todo Fichajes suggest that AFC are doing all they can to convince Leipzig to let him go now, so this could be an interesting one to keep an eye on as we edge closer towards the end of the January window.
Arsenal are facing an uphill battle to get back into the title race, but adding a proper number 9 like Sesko could make all the difference.
At the moment, Arteta’s side are managing to just about stay close to Liverpool and keep the pressure on in case they slip up, but it’s hard to imagine they’ll have enough to do it if they don’t bring in an upgrade up front.
Both Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus are injured, while Kai Havertz has mostly blown hot and cold as the jury is still out on if striker is really his best position.
Is this just to give the fans the impression that they are trying to sign someone, or they are really serious about signing him? I ask this because his club has already stated that they are not letting him leave this winter.
Arsenal don’t seem serious about bringing in new reinforcements.
honestly and the board admitted to limited funds so we might not sign sekso and this could cost us the league
Not selling unless they receive a offer well in excess of valuation.
I agree with you 💯%
I always wonder why Arsenal recruitment always is dragged unnecessarily and in most cases leading to losing the opportunity to get the said target.
It’s very painful.
I totally agree with you both. They are just playing with the emotions of their ardent and suffering fans. It is a pity really.
I think there’s alot which Mikel need to do in order to lift major trophies. First and foremost, there’s need to get Bukayo’s replacement and secondly a competent no.9. Otherwise I don’t see any future in Arsenal.
Stan Kroenke is the problem, not Arteta. Kroenke is simply not ambitious to win trophies, that is why arsenal has not won Epl since he came onboard in 2007 and thereafter became the club owner. Kroenke and his sporting director prefer to bring in bench warmers and below average players because those ones are cheap or free.
Good new if ssure
Why is it that Man City and Chelsea get transfers done quickly but with Arsenal it’s the opposite? Many players associated with Arsenal yet they end up not coming or going somewhere? Why do Arsenal not do the obvious,like buy a striker?
Bring hin
Sometimes I get frustrated. It looks like they don’t have the money. Or they play game to put the money up front. Years and years we are missing players we really need until some rival take them away from us. Getting money out is just getting there blood out.
Arsenal my life club is very important to me ,and I have been Arsenal fan for about 40 years with all my children ,in win or loose I remain Gunners for life.
We are a big club in Europe no doubt , but they this recruitment issue of buying players ,I mean world clads and to me the question remain why?
My very old friend a coach with many club in England Harry Readnanp once say ,the problem Arsenal has is they buy a plaer that’s good as replacing another , this means you have Saka the get another as good as Sake in case of replacement this is the big problem. Issue of buying they drag it impossible or disagreement point sometimes they end up not buying but will cry for loosing matches to smaller teams. With this they can’t win trophy and it has become our trade mark.
Aresenal has never win Champions league for this 40 years I have been their fan ,however I will not change win or loose I remain Gunners for life
IAm pleading to the Board to byu a striker Jesus can’t give us goals to be a champion . This serious now that he’s injured Saka and a host of them are injured and its always when matters to kill games and win what you see is injury and so on.
Kronen buy a striker a midfielder and a central half to solidify the team . Tell your employer to buy players before we cry like baby last season
Gunners for life win or loose
Good morning Gunners .
Its sad for the Gunners the state of injuries of players I mean high profiles players ,the likes of Sakaand others.
They should buy or again we turn in to cry like last season
Asernal leadership is always playing cat and mouse game while serious clubs keep on bringing serious players each season. No matter what we make as fans we will definitely lose an opportunity to win English league let alone Champions league. Wake up!!
i am tired of arsenal football club and might even be consider switching or staying away from football, because signing a player is always a problem,and if they are not able to win any trophy,i pray they should finish at bottom half of the table so that the owners will realise there mistakes.
Stan Kroenke is the problem, not Arteta. Kroenke is simply not ambitious to win trophies, that is why arsenal has not won Epl since he came onboard in 2007 and thereafter became the club owner.

This is unfortunate no the side of the arsenal hierarchy, and frustrating to the unique fans of arsenal fc.
This lackluster behavior of the club hierarchy is so underwhelming, but, we it seems they’re not feeling what the fans are persistently going through.
Gunners for life!!! Let’s just keep hoping
Arsenal must sign sésko
Both kroenke and arteta are the problem to arsenal fc, it’s because Arteta is not competent if they fail to give him what I need to be successful then he should quit the job. Manchester city is the champion now because they have little problem see what they did this window all because they are ambitious and also have the competent coach.
Let Arteta go to a club like Really madrid where they are ambitious he will win both leaque and campions leaque back to back
