Mikel Arteta provides response when asked if he'd want Arsenal to sign Marcus Rashford

Arsenal's manager Mikel Arteta has stated that he doesn't speak about players from other clubs when asked whether they will sign Marcus Rashford. This comes after there have been speculations surrounding Rashford's future at Old Trafford lately.

Despite being fit and able to play, Rashford has missed the Red Devils last two games. There are rumors that the Englishman has fallen out with United's new head coach Ruben Amorim.

In a press conference, Arteta was asked if he would like to sign Rashford. He said (via UtdDistrict):

"You know that I'm not going to talk about players from other clubs.....”

Arsenal have reportedly been interested in enhancing their attack in the upcoming transfer window. However, Arteta has stated that he won't speak about players from other clubs.

Despite the recent setback with Amorim, Rashford has been one of the best-performing attackers at Old Trafford this season. In 24 games across all competitions, he has scored seven goals and registered three assists.

The Englishman is contracted at Old Trafford till June 2028 and he's valued at €55 million by Transfermarkt.

The Gunners have reportedly held talks with Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig, according to Mail Sport (via Transfer News Live on X). The report also claimed that the Gunners have a good relationship with Sesko's representatives.

Since last summer, the Gunners have been looking to enhance their attack by signing a center-forward. Meanwhile, Sesko has reportedly been on their radar.

This season, the Slovenian has netted 10 goals and registered three assists in 22 games across all competitions. His finishing proficiency and attacking intuition could enhance Arsenal's attack if signed.

Sesko is contracted at Leipzig till June 2029 and is valued at €50 million by Transfermarkt. It remains unclear if the Slovenian international will leave Leipzig next summer. However, the offer on the table would have to be mouthwatering for the German side to sell Sesko.
