Arsenal and Chelsea remain locked in a battle to sign Benjamin Sesko, with both London clubs desperately seeking to bolster their striking options. The RB Leipzig forward has been a target for both sides, as they look to address their respective goalscoring issues.
In the summer, Arsenal came close to securing a deal for the highly-rated Slovenian, with reports suggesting that they had convinced Sesko to make the move to North London. However, just before Euro 2024, Sesko made the decision to stay in the Bundesliga for one more season, rejecting Arsenal’s approach. Since then, Arsenal’s failure to sign a top striker has been keenly felt, with goals proving to be a significant problem for the team this season.

This month presents another opportunity for Arsenal to address their striker shortage, but with the likes of Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres seemingly out of reach, Sesko remains one of the few realistic targets available. According to Football London, Arsenal have indeed explored the possibility of bringing Sesko to the Emirates this January, and there may still be a chance for them to submit a late bid. However, the report suggests that it is more likely the Gunners will wait until the end of the season to make their move, with the hope of securing Sesko in the summer instead.
Signing a top striker this month would be a difficult task for Arsenal, especially considering the timing and the competition for players like Sesko. Nonetheless, if there is even the slightest opportunity to secure the RB Leipzig forward this January, it would be in Arsenal’s best interest to act quickly. Adding a player of Sesko’s calibre could be a game-changer for the Gunners as they aim to strengthen their squad and compete at the highest level.

They had better, or the season will end very badly
Too late
It’s never late until it’s all over.
Despite that Liverpool are currently on top of the standings, and having d a sic point cushions advantage in their leading the packs.
However, Arsenal who are right behind them can still catchup with them. And even can overtake as the remainder of the season campaign pans outso.
So therefore, if Arsenal does believe that signing a new top class quality versatile striker and winger this winter window, can greatly enhance their goals-scoring capacity. To win all their remaining 15 PL matches. And thus be abusing Liverpool to catch them when they slip up. Which I believe will happen eventually fore the season ends.

I read today that we’ve put in a 70m euro bid don’t know how true it was I’m not sure how I feel about this player his numbers look a little underwhelming though I’m told his stats look similar to Isak’s before Newc paid over 70 for him I’m also told his conversion rate and his strike of a ball are both pretty good
