Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson has urged Gunners manager Mikel Arteta to raid Aston Villa and AC Milan before the transfer window closes and bring in two players to enhance their title chances

“Benjamin Sesko, we know Mikel Arteta is a huge fan of him. He might well be open to the move from RB Leipzig and come the summer, if Arsenal can get someone younger than Ollie Watkins, I think that’s the route they will go down.”

Arsenal have turned their attention to Ollie Watkins as they try and secure January reinforcements for Mikel Arteta's attack. Villa have rejected a bid from the Gunners for their striker with the end of the winter transfer window looming less than a week away.
