Arsenal have reportedly enquired about signing RB Leizpig striker Benjamin Sesko - but a January move may be off the table.
According to talkSPORT, Arsenal have made a 'tentative enquiry' for the Leipzig star, but a January move is 'complicated'. The report adds the Bundesliga team are reluctant to sell the £70 million-rated ($86m) forward this month, even though they are now out of the Champions League.
Sesko has reportedly remained one of Arsenal's main targets as a striker option following Gabriel Jesus' injury. But getting the 21-year-old, who has scored in five straight Bundesliga games, will not be easy - especially due to his price tag and contract length (expires in 2029).
The Slovenian's agent, Elvis Basanovic, had previously ruled out a January loan move to Arsenal for the big striker.
He said last week: “I don’t know where this story has come from but I have never talked with Arsenal about a loan move for Sesko. Sesko is not a player for loans and this was never a topic with Arsenal or any other club. If you ask me if Sesko will move in January, I can only say Sesko is an RB Leipzig player and fully focused on that."
While Arsenal try and sign a new striker in January, they face Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Wednesday as they aim to ensure their place as a seeded team in the last 16.
