Arsenal discussing move for long-term target but two defenders look set for exit – latest transfer news | OneFootball

Arsenal are discussing whether to move for long-term striker target Benjamin Sesko this month, according to Sky Sports.

The Gunners have long held an interest in the Slovenian striker, who has scored 14 goals in 26 games in all competitions for his club RB Leipzig this season.

Sesko’s agent Elvis Basanovic has previously stated that the 21-year-old will not move clubs in January, however, while Leipzig are said to be reluctant to let him leave too, meaning a summer deal looks more likely.

The Daily Mirror are reporting that the Gunners are ready to spend big to land the RB Leipzig forward this month though, with Sky Sports adding that Matheus Cunha is also an option.

Meanwhile, Oleksandr Zinchenko looks set for the exit door at Arsenal with Borussia Dortmund reportedly interested.

The Telegraph say the Ukrainian is expected to leave the club before the end of the January transfer window, with the 28-year-old said to be top of the German club’s shortlist after missing out on Chelsea’s Renato Veiga, who is heading to Juventus on loan.

Kieran Tierney also looks to be on his way out having signed a pre-contract agreement with former club Celtic meaning he will return to the Scottish giants once his contract at Arsenal expires, according to the Telegraph.

Elsewhere, Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Chelsea are set to approach Man United for Alejandro Garnacho.

Napoli also remain keen on a deal, Romano says, but no agreement has been reached, with a €50m package rejected by United.

Sky Sports say United have come down from their initial asking price after holding talks with Napoli on Tuesday and are now open to doing business at around £55m (€65m).

Kyle Walker has arrived in Milan after Manchester City accepted a loan bid for the 34-year-old, which also includes an option to buy worth around £4.2m, Sky Italy are reporting.

Brentford have rejected Nottingham Forest’s bid for Yoane Wissa and are determined to keep him until at least the summer, Sky Sports say, with Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo also keen on Matheus Cunha.

According to Turkish newspaper Fanatik, new Besiktas boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen on bringing his former player Marcus Rashford over to Istanbul.

And West Ham are pushing to sign RB Leipzig striker Andre Silva on loan, according to Sky in Germany.
