Arsenal will be forced to splash the cash to get their hands on RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko this month as a loan deal is reportedly off the table. The Gunners are chasing the 21-year-old’s signature as they attempt to stay in the Premier League title race.

The report adds that discussions are 'ongoing' over whether a deal is possible for Sesko this month. Meanwhile, Diario AS claim that Arsenal have made contact with the German club over the forward though a mid-season move is described as 'still complicated' despite Leipzig getting knocked out of the Champions League.

Arsenal could accelerate their plans to sign a top striker, with RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko under consideration by manager Mikel Arteta.

The 6ft 5ins Slovenian has been relatively sharp this Bundesliga campaign, netting eight times in 17 outings. In total, he has found the net 21 times in 58 league matches for the Red Bull side.
