Arsenal are reportedly using talks with RB Leipzig for Benjamin Sesko to pursue a potential deal for his Norwegian teammate Antonio Nusa.
CaughtOffside reports that the Gunners are "considering" the left-winger who, alongside Sesko, impressed for Leipzig last season. He's highly sought-after, with as many as five Premier League clubs keeping tabs on the 20-year-old.
Mikel Arteta's North Londoners are one of the teams that have taken a liking to Nusa amid ongoing negotiations with the Bundesliga club for their Slovenian striker. Fabrizio Romano suggested that talk of a deal being agreed for Sesko was wide of the mark, but they are trying to bring the 22-year-old to the Emirates, and he may not arrive alone.

Arsenal are eyeing Nusa and may admire his versatility, as the left-winger can fill in at attacking midfield, on the other flank, and even up top. He has only been with Leipzig a year, arriving from Club Brugge in August 2024 for around €21m (£18m) but his fine start has put several clubs on notice.
It is reported that interest has been expressed from Chelsea, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Everton, and Napoli, among others. Leipzig's failure to qualify for next season's Champions League has cast doubts over several of their stars, including Sesko, Tottenham Hotspur-linked Xavi Simons and now Nusa.
The asking price is thought to be around £38m, and there is no indication that any of those clubs wish to meet it. He is one of Norway's most celebrated talents, his play style has been compared to that of Neymar's, and he was labelled 'exceptional' by Manchester City's Erling Haaland.

Arsenal's focus is on sealing a deal for Sesko and while they "appreciate" Nusa, their priority is the potential £84m acquisition of the Bundesliga side's number nine. He could be one to watch later down the line, especially if no winger arrives amid links to Real Madrid's Rodrygo.
