Arsenal transfer news: Mikel Arteta issues plea amid battle to rescue Benjamin Sesko deal

There are just 10 days left of the January transfer window, with Arsenal yet to make a signing. Injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka have left the Gunners desperately short of forward options. While Mikel Arteta has made it clear he wants to add a striker to his squad this month, that task has proven to be harder than expected.
Several players have been linked with moves to the Emirates Stadium, including Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko. But so far none have arrived, with the Gunners now battling to save a deal for Sesko. The chase for Cunha does still seem to be alive, even with Nottingham Forest providing strong competition. Here, Mirror Football rounds up all the latest Arsenal transfer news.
Arsenal are battling to rescue a deal for Benjamin Sesko, as they push to bring in attacking reinforcements. The 21-year-old has emerged as the Gunners' leading target, having scored 14 goals in 26 games for RB Leipzig this season. But according to Sky Germany, West Ham are in advanced talks to sign Sesko's team-mate Andre Silva. If he does join the Hammers, then Leipzig would be unlikely to allow Sesko to depart as well.
They could greenlight Sesko's departure if they are able to bring in a replacement. Denmark international Mathias Kvistgaarden is currently their top target, but Celtic look set to wrap up a deal for the Brondby star. HAVE YOUR SAY! Should Arsenal end their pursuit of Benjamin Sesko? Comment below.
