Mikel Arteta has reportedly identified the perfect signing to improve Arsenal's attack as they push for the Premier League title.
Arsenal's search for a top-class striker will continue into the January transfer window as Mikel Arteta seeks to fix a long-term problem area.
According to reports, the Gunners are keen on RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko but must meet the club's reported asking price of €70million.
Sesko is one of Europe's most promising strikers and has been on Arsenal's radar for some time, as the Gunners continue to improve the squad in all departments.

Osimhen personally breaks Napoli's heart with key January window decision
Victor Osimhen's alleged decision threw a wrench in Napoli's transfer market plans.
With 11 goals and 5 assists in 23 games for RB Leipzig, Sesko has shown he can score goals, as well as create.
His aerial ability, standing at 6ft4, would provide Arsenal with a significant threat in the box and composed finishing, something currently lacking.
The Gunners' current striking options, including Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus, have failed to deliver on a consistent basis.
Arteta's men have also linked with Newcastle's Alexander Isak, but Sesko's relatively lower price tag makes him an attractive alternative.
The Gunners were also linked to Nigerian goal-machine Victor Osimhen, but that deal is now unlikely to materialise, at least not until the summer window.
