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.

Arsenal have now made a decision on whether they think it's possible to sign Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig before deadline day.

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.

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 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).
