TBR Football has received reports from RB Leipzig’s resources regarding Benjamin Sesko amid rumors that Arsenal have held talks over the striker.
Arsenal are currently in pursuit of attacking reinforcements in wake of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus suffering injuries.
The Gunners have a number nine in their ranks of late, and players such as Ian Wright have called on Arsenal to sign a striker.
Sesko, who Arsenal tried to sign last summer, is now back on their radar, and TBR Football can check the existing scenario related to their search for Sesko.

TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey can reveal that RB Leipzig that have ruled out a January sale of Sesko and have denied holding talks with Arsenal about a prospective deal.
Arsenal have been strongly linked with a role for the Slovenian star – who they failed to land last summer after mounting a bid.
Having lost Gabriel Jesus to a long-term injury, the club have been assessing their options and club sources confirmed to TBR Football that they were assessing the options open to them.
It has been claimed that there are ongoing talks between Arsenal and Leipzig, but we are told that is the case and that the player himself has been pushing for a move this month.
TBR Football understands that Sesko is highly valued and is one of their most sensible targets, but he is not the only player who is betting on the long term.
Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak is also among the most respected in the Emirates’ corridors of strength.
We can also reveal that Sesko is on the agenda of other clubs throughout Europe and Bayern Munich, Barcelona and AC Milan have been watching the player closely this season.
The player himself still does not know what his next club will be.

Last summer, Sesko said he rejected the likes of Arsenal because he wanted to stay put with Leipzig in the Bundesliga, where he could continue to develop as a player.
“I think about it very carefully,” he said. I think I made the right decision. I sought to gain more experience, to be more informed and not to rush things.
“Leipzig is an excellent club that can provide what I need for the next step. Leipzig’s vision is clear; everything is geared towards growth, progress, and high goals. I felt it was right to decide this way.”
When asked how the moving rumors had affected him, Sesko continued, “I can’t deny that those things don’t go into your subconscious, it’s probably absolutely normal, human. “
“However, I remained calm despite everything. I went through this turbulent time and approached the Euro with full concentration.
With Sesko at Leipzig until the summer of 2029, the Bundesliga club is currently in a position to make most of the decisions.
