Why Sesko didn't play for RB Leipzig as Arsenal transfer takes another twist

Benjamin Sesko continues to have an all-action season for RB Leipzig as he strives to impress clubs interested in completing a transfer this year. The 21-year-old was one of last summer's big talking points.

After three goals in the first 12 league games, he sent reminder of just why so many clubs see him as the answer to their attacking issues. Similar to a run he went on at the back end of last season, Sesko fired in goals in five straight games over the festive and New Year period, announcing himself once more as a player to be taken seriously.

However, his ability to always be in the spotlight didn't pay off for Leipzig last week. Indeed, after scoring away to Stuttgart, Sesko saw himself sent-off with the game still in the balance.

He picked up a second yellow card late on for a challenge made with just five minutes to go. That ruled him out of Saturday's meeting with Bochum, too, a game that Leipzig could only draw.

That explains his absence from the teamsheet with some Arsenal supporters online getting excited about the prospect of him missing the match with a transfer in mind. Others, accepting the suspension, still felt that it was the end of Sesko's time in Germany, predicting a January move to follow.
