Arsenal want to sign Brentford striker before deadline?

Arsenal are considering a move for Brentford striker Yoane Wissa before the transfer window closes on February 3, as per Football Insider.

The Gunners are in the transfer market for new signings following injuries to Bukayo Saka as well as Gabriel Jesus.

RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko is the top name on their radar, but the German club have no plans to sell him right now.

Sesko is also happy to continue at the Bundesliga giants. Any decision over his future could be made in the summer.

Amidst this, the Gunners have turned their attention to Wissa, who is also on the radar of Nottingham Forest this winter.

Forest made an opening bid of £22m for the DR Congo star, but the Bees are said to be holding out for around £35m.

Arsenal are yet to make an offer of their own, but could do so with manager Mikel Arteta desperate to bolster his attack.

The Gunners could propose a loan deal with an option to buy.
