Arsenal Silent Transfer Moves as Zubimendi and Sesko Deals Near Completion

Arsenal have been quiet in the January transfer window but may have secured two major summer signings. The Gunners are still keen on RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, who has 14 goals and three assists in 29 games. They are also making progress on a deal for Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, potentially reinforcing Mikel Arteta’s squad.

In the ongoing January transfer window, Arsenal have yet to make any official signings, but behind-the-scenes work suggests two major deals may already be in place for the summer. Mikel Arteta has emphasized that the club is searching for players who can make an immediate impact rather than signing for the sake of it.

One of Arsenal’s key targets is RB Leipzig’s 21-year-old striker Benjamin Šeško, who has scored 14 goals and provided three assists in 29 appearances this season. Despite signing a new contract last summer, a “gentleman’s agreement” may allow him to leave in the upcoming window. Arsenal’s pursuit of a striker has been influenced by Gabriel Jesus' recurring knee injuries, and other options like Ollie Watkins and Alexander Isak have proven to be too expensive, with Isak valued at over £100 million.

In midfield, Arsenal are making progress on a deal for Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi, a highly-rated defensive midfielder with a €60 million release clause. The Spaniard has been on the club’s radar for some time, and reports suggest negotiations are advancing for a summer move. With Arsenal still competing for the Premier League title, these potential signings could significantly strengthen their squad for next season.
