On Wednesday, it was revealed that Arsenal had submitted an official bid to RB Leipzig for Sesko.

When questioned by Sky Germany's Philipp Hinze whether it was still the case that Sesko wouldn't be sold this month, Rose simply responded: "Yes, that’s still the case!"

WHAT NEXT FOR SESKO?

The Slovenian striker has had an average first half of the season as he has only found the back of the net on 14 occasions in 26 matches. As such, Rose will be keen to unlock Sesko's best form as RB Leipzig look to qualify in the Champions League-paying positions.
