As the transfer window prepares to swing open, both Arsenal and Chelsea are eyeing potential moves in January 2024, each with their own compelling motivations. Arsenal, positioned at the top of the league, are vigorously vying for points, aiming to clinch the Premier League title after two decades. Meanwhile, Chelsea is striving to climb up from the middle ranks of the table.
In their pursuit, both London clubs have set their sights on the same player. However, the timing might not be ideal as the selling club may not be inclined to engage in business just yet. Reports suggest interest from Newcastle and Manchester United in RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, but these clubs might face similar disappointment.
Fabrizio Romano, in an exclusive briefing for CaughtOffside, suggests that Benjamin Šeško is likely to remain with Leipzig for now, potentially departing in the summer. Despite being a target for several top European clubs due to his immense talent, a January move seems improbable.
Speculation surrounds Sesko’s eventual departure from Leipzig due to his dissatisfaction with his current role. According to Romano, any move is unlikely before summer 2024 at the earliest.
