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.

Indeed, according to David Ornstein, speaking on The Athletic FC Podcast, Sesko is a long-term Arsenal target, but a deal this month would be difficult to do, so a summer switch may be more likely. Ornstein shared what he knows about Sesko and Arsenal’s interest in the player.

Sesko appears to be one of the Gunners' top targets to help Mikel Arteta deal with an injury crisis. Gabriel Jesus is ruled out for the rest of the season after rupturing his ACL, while Bukayo Saka is sidelined with a hamstring injury. It's been a difficult period for the North Londoners, whose lack of firepower has been problematic.

Arsenal have just over two weeks to make new singings before the January transfer window slams shut and RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko has been tipped for a mega £70million move
