'Arsenal prepare transfer window excuses' - Fans explode at Benjamin Sesko news

Today at 12:32 PM

Arsenal fans have voiced their frustration following an update on the club's pursuit of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.

The 21-year-old Slovenian international has been heavily linked with a move to the Gunners, with talks taking place last summer.

However, a deal failed to materialise, and now his name has resurfaced as a potential target in the January transfer window.

Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth provided an update on the situation, stating that Arsenal are "discussing internally" whether a deal for Sesko "is possible” [Dharmesh Sheth via X].

This update has sparked backlash from Arsenal supporters online, many of whom are growing increasingly impatient with the club's lack of transfer activity this window.

Arsenal fans voice frustration over minimal transfer news

Mikel Arteta's side urgently needs reinforcements in attack following injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus.

Although young talent Ethan Nwaneri has returned from injury, fans fear this signals that the club might forgo signing an attacker during the January window.

Sesko has impressed for Leipzig this season, starting 23 of his 25 appearances across all competitions, scoring 13 goals, and providing three assists.

Football Insider reported that Arsenal are actively searching for a forward, but with only days left in the window, fans are understandably frustrated by the lack of progress.

The update from Sheth doesn't provide much excitement to supporters either, as nothing substantial has been offered yet.

Any striker addition would come at a significant cost, so there are concerns that the club may avoid spending heavily in January despite their current injury crisis.

Fans have openly criticised the situation online, describing the update as an "excuse" should a deal fail to materialise. One fan commented, "Still discussing. Useless club" while another suggested the prolonged talks display a "sign of no ambition".

In other news, Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus shared an injury update on social media.
