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.

Sesko or Tel?As the January transfer window heats up, Chelsea are in the spotlight with their active pursuit of not one, but two promising Bundesliga

Mikel Arteta has made it clear he wants to bring in some new faces before the transfer deadline on February 3, with RB Leipzig star Sesko reportedly their top target. But cheaper moves for strikers such as Evan Ferguson or Matheus Cunha cannot be ruled out.

Arsenal could be given a massive opportunity to sign a striker before the January window closes after being told one of their top targets is available for transfer this month.

Chelsea are now in constant contact over a potential move to sign another forward this month, however, the Blues target is keen to join rivals Arsenal. Chelsea are expected to be one of the Premier League's busiest sides in the final days of the transfer window,
