Catch all the latest Arsenal transfer news and rumours, including updates on Benjamin Sesko, Karim Adeyemi and Jorginho.

Just 11 days remain for Arsenal to get some business done in the January transfer window, with the deadline fast approaching.

So far, it has been slightly quiet for the Gunners in terms of both incoming and outgoing players within the team.

Forward players are on the radar for Mikel Arteta, who is looking to add more quality options to his attacking unit.

Exits are likely to follow too, with a few defenders seemingly linked with a possible move away from Arsenal.

So with that said, here’s a look at the latest Arsenal transfer news and rumours.

Arsenal make contact for Benjamin Sesko

Arsenal have made contact over a possible transfer for top striker target Benjamin Sesko before the end of the January transfer window.

The Gunners have been rumoured with interest in the forward for some time, following a run of impressive displays for RB Leipzig.

After missing out in the previous summer window, a January move appeared unlikely, but that could soon change.

Arsenal Insider have spoken to transfer expert Graeme Bailey of TBR Football about the situation, where he revealed some more details.

There is something happening with Arsenal and Sesko – that much we can say,” Graeme said.

“Arsenal have not made a bid, but there has been some contact and I understand it has been to find out if Leipzig are willing to listen to offers this month or not.

“That means they need to name a price, if they do want to do business. We know a loan deal is not an option, but I am told Arsenal think that a deal might be able to be done.

“Arsenal have a good relationship with Leipzig and now it is Jurgen Klopp playing a central part – RB as organization are discussing the situation.”

Fabrizio Romano gives update on Arsenal transfer target Karim Adeyemi

Another forward who has been linked with a potential transfer to Arsenal is Borussia Dortmund star Karim Adeyemi.

TBR Football reported that the Gunners were asked to be “kept informed” on the situation surrounding a possible deal.

It seems as though that interest may put into action elsewhere though as Fabrizio Romano claims Napoli have opened talks for the 23-year-old.

It’s stated that Borussia Dortmund are open to an exit, which could leave the door open for Arsenal to swoop.

However, at this moment in time, it seems as though Napoli have made the first move.

Jorginho transfer exit latest

Talks between Jorginho and Flamengo over a possible transfer switch have ground to a halt in recent days, claims GE Globo.

The midfielder, who is into the final six months of his contract with Arsenal, has been rumoured with a move to Brazil in the months ahead.

Whether that would be as a free transfer in the summer or before remained to be seen, with talks held over a transfer.

It remains to be seen if the talks can be reignited before the close of the January transfer window.
