West Ham have already seen a £57m bid rejected while the likes of Chelsea and Al-Nassr have also been heavily linked. It seems Arsenal may have stolen a march on their rivals, though, with Fabrizio Romano claiming they have already made contact over a potential move.

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

Arsenal have been warned that RB Leipzig have no plans to sell Benjamin Sesko before the January transfer window slams shut. Sesko is a long-term target of Arsenal, who are in the market for a forward this month after injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus.

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.
