Arsenal have reportedly made their decision regarding a future approach for RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko.

Throughout the summer transfer window, it was frequently reported that the Gunners were prioritising the addition of a new striker.

That was particularly expected once it became apparent that Eddie Nketiah had been made available for an exit, the academy graduate ultimately making the switch to Crystal Palace.

However, Mikel Arteta and sporting director Edu eventually decided against adding a new number nine to the senior ranks in a move that surprised many.

Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus remain the standout options down the middle of the attack, with Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli and Raheem Sterling able to deputise if required.

Nevertheless, with major funds having not been spent on a frontman in recent months, there is anticipation among the fanbase that a high-profile move could be reignited in 2025.

What is Arsenal's decision on Sesko?

According to GIVEMESPORT, there is currently no plan in place for a fresh offer to be made for Sesko.

With a release clause in the region of £55m in his contract at the end of last season, the Slovenia international was a natural target for a number of clubs in the Premier League and abroad.

Sesko had chipped in with 30 goals and six assists during the previous two league campaigns for Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig respectively.

Rather than take an opportunity to move elsewhere, Sesko penned a new contract at the latter, keeping him tied to the Bundesliga outfit until 2029.

Given their business model, there is an acceptance at Leipzig that Sesko will eventually move on, with the hope being it will be for above the previous aforementioned release clause.

From Arsenal's perspective, though, it is claimed that Arteta is no longer as interested in acquiring the services of a traditional number nine as he once was.

How has Sesko started the season?

The 21-year-old is still awaiting his first goal in the Bundesliga, with his only domestic goal coming against lower-league opposition in the DFB-Pokal.

On a more positive note, four goals were scored in recent UEFA Nations League fixtures against Austria and Kazakhstan, with that haul coming after failing to net in four outings for Slovenia at Euro 2024.
