Arsenal have been urged to forget about signing RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko in the January transfer window. The Gunners remain keen to add more firepower to their squad having changed their recruitment plans in light of the season ending injury sustained by Gabriel Jesus.

Arsenal have been warned that RB Leipzig have no plans to sell Benjamin Sesko before the January transfer window slams shut. Sesko is a long-term target of Arsenal, who are in the market for a forward this month after injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus.

The German club instead told Arsenal that any move had to wait until the summer. Leipzig want to ensure the forward is available for them for the rest of this term. They will then be willing to negotiate a price, but only an outlandish offer would tempt them midseason.
