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

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 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.

Chelsea are in talks to sign RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko, who is Arsenal's primary transfer target for 2025.
