Premier League clubs, particularly Manchester United and Arsenal, are all preparing to make moves in the January transfer window.
With Man United fighting to win the Europa League and Arsenal looking to challenge for the Premier League and the Champions League titles once again, both clubs will be determined to strengthen their squad next year.
An area where they both have struggled this season is the striker department.
For Man United, Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have been inconsistent while Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus have both failed to make an impact in the Premier League this season.
In order to address those issues, they are targeting a move for RB Leipzig attacker Benjamin Sesko.
According to TBR Football, Man United and Arsenal scouted the Bundesliga attacker during his team’s match against Bayern Munich.
Although RB Leipzig suffered a humiliating 5-1 defeat against Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich side, Sesko managed to score a goal and impress the clubs that were in attendance to watch him play.
As per the report, more than 20 clubs were present in Munich to see the striker play against the German giants.
