Chelsea are in talks to sign RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko, who is Arsenal's primary transfer target for 2025.

A move in the summer is much more likely, although Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has admitted that the club are searching for a new striker right now after injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus.

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.
