Is Arsenal really going to sign Benjamin Sesko?

In the midst of rumors that Arsenal is “in talks” to sign Benjamin Sesko in January, football transfer specialist David Ornstein has come clean.

Sam C, a journalist for United Stand, asserted on Thursday that the Gunners had begun talks with RB Leipzig over a potential transfer this month.

EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal are in talks with RB Leipzig for Benjamin Sesko,’ he posted on his X account, ranking up over 11,000 likes and 2.6m views.

‘Told Arsenal want a loan with buy option, Leipzig want money upfront or an obligation. Understand Arteta has spoken with Sesko on more than one occasion.’

Ornstein has now expressed his own opinions, dispelling the Sesko rumors in an appearance on the Highbury Squad YouTube channel.

‘At time of recording this, my information is that there are no talks between Arsenal and RB Leipzig for Benjamin Sesko and he is not expected to move in this transfer window,’ Ornstein said.

‘Arsenal do have a long-standing interest in him. He’s high on their recruitment list. [But the same is true for] Man Utd and Chelsea. The list goes on.

‘Arsenal] explored it in the past, then he signed a new contract. He is really important to Leipzig at the moment.‘They are fighting for better results in the Bundesliga. They need him and he is their best player. They are under no financial pressure to sell him.

Never say never in this industry, because you just don’t know what will happen one minute to the next – if a club comes in with an offer which is too good to refuse – but that’s not happened so far.
