Arsenal are weighing up alternative attacking signings as their hopes fade of landing preferred target Benjamin Sesko this month, sources have told ESPN.

Arsenal have now made a decision on whether they think it's possible to sign Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig before deadline day.

Mikel Arteta has made it clear he wants to bring in some new faces before the transfer deadline on February 3, with RB Leipzig star Sesko reportedly their top target. But cheaper moves for strikers such as Evan Ferguson or Matheus Cunha cannot be ruled out.

Arsenal could be given a massive opportunity to sign a striker before the January window closes after being told one of their top targets is available for transfer this month.

Arsenal believe that Sesko will be on his way this summer. Indeed, the Gunners internally believe that Sesko will be available in the summer, and he could be available for around €75m (£67m).

Arsenal are once again considering a move for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, who was previously recommended to Manchester United.

RB Leipzig manager Marco Rose has dismissed talk of Arsenal target Benjamin Sesko leaving the club in January. The Gunners were strongly linked with the striker in the summer and that interest remains, particularly with the Gunners short in attack after injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus.
