"Case will be open again for the summer" - Arsenal keen on signing Chelsea target, reports Fabrizio Romano 

Premier League giants Arsenal and Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. The 21-year-old Slovenian joined Leipzig from RB Salzburg in the summer of 2023 for a reported transfer fee of €24 million.

Last season, Benjamin Sesko was Arsenal's top target before the Slovenian snubbed the Gunners and chose to go with the Bundesliga side. Sesko played 42 games for Die Roten Bullen last season, scoring 18 goals and creating two more.

This season, the Slovenian marksman has already amassed 11 goals and three assists in 23 games across all competitions. As per a report by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal, Chelsea, and many other Premier League sides are keen on signing the youngster. He said (via Tribal Football):

"There are really many, many clubs keen on Sesko. It could be more than 5 clubs."

"But it's not a topic for January, the Sesko case will be open again for the summer and that's when the real suitors can emerge with concrete talks. At this stage, nothing is advanced with any club yet."

Arsenal desperately needs a striker because of the string of underwhelming performances by Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus this season. The German forward has scored 12 goals and created three more in 25 games across competitions this season. Meanwhile, Jesus has recorded just six goals and two assists in 23 games for the Gunners.

Similarly, Chelsea strikers are yet to fire this season with Nicolas Jackson, Deivid Washington, and Marc Guiu racking up underwhelming numbers so far in the 2024-25 season.

According to a report by CaughtOffside, the Gunners are keen on signing 26-year-old Chelsea midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. The Englishman joined Enzo Maresca's outfit in the summer of 2024 for a reported transfer price of €35.40 million.

Since joining The Blues, the Englishman has played 15 games, recording two goals and a solitary assist. However, he has mostly been used as a substitute under Maresca, playing an average of just 11 minutes over five appearances in the Premier League so far.

Due to a lack of game time, Dewsbury-Hall is expected to leave Stamford Bridge this winter. Arsenal and some other top clubs have emerged as major suitors for the 26-year-old.

Apart from the Gunners, clubs like Tottenham Hotspur, Rangers, Aston Villa, Leicester City, Brighton & Hove Albion, Fulham, and many others may attempt to become the next home for the English midfielder.
