Arsenal are still actively scouring the striker market for a January opportunity, but a move for top target Benjamin Sesko won't materialise until the summer, according to a report. The Gunners failed to reinforce their centre-forward department last summer after Sesko snubbed them in favour of extending his RB Leipzig contract.

Wage wise it would be significantly less than would be given to a much older Viktor Gyokeres or Victor Osimhen. When looking at Omar Marmoush's move to Manchester City after a similar run of impressive performances for more than £70million it seems a fair price to pay at this stage of the market.

Flamengo are believed to have held talks with Jorginho and his representatives. But according to Brazilian newspaper O Dia, the financial demands laid out by the Arsenal man are ' out of touch '. Flamengo have therefore rejected his contract terms and sent a counter-offer to see if they can land Jorginho without breaking the bank.

Benjamin Sesko 's agent has stoked reports of Arsenal interest in the striker during the January transfer window. Arsenal are on the hunt for a new striker following Gabriel Jesus 's ACL injury, which is set to sideline him into next season.
