The latest Arsenal transfer news as Benjamin Sesko misses RB Leipzig clash days after fresh links with a January switch to the Premier League.

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.

Sesko appears to be one of the Gunners' top targets to help Mikel Arteta deal with an injury crisis. Gabriel Jesus is ruled out for the rest of the season after rupturing his ACL, while Bukayo Saka is sidelined with a hamstring injury. It's been a difficult period for the North Londoners, whose lack of firepower has been problematic.

Injury-hit Arsenal are pondering whether to sign one of their summer transfer targets during the current transfer window, but have competition in the form of Barcelona

RB Leipzig manager Marco Rose has dismissed talk of Arsenal target Benjamin Sesko leaving the club in January. The Gunners were strongly linked with the striker in the summer and that interest remains, particularly with the Gunners short in attack after injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus.

Benjamin Sesko is one of RB Leipzig's highest-rated players and reportedly has a "gentleman's agreement" with the club that will allow him to leave at the end of this season
