RB Leipzig are ready to part ways with striker Benjamin Sesko for around €70 million this summer, according to BILD.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is eager to land the 22-year-old Slovenian star this summer to finally solve a longstanding lack of firepower.
Sesko has had another impressive season again at Leipzig, netting an impressive 21 goals in 45 appearances across all competitions.
His red-hot form has caught the eye of top clubs in Europe and the Middle East. Arsenal saw bids for Sesko turned down in January, but the forward, who joined Leipzig from RB Salzburg in 2023, is reportedly keen to make the move despite his contract lasting until 2029.
Leipzig initially aimed for €80m to €100m for their prized asset, but they’ve now settled on a more achievable €70m base fee with add-ons.
This shift could open the door for Arsenal to strengthen their attack with the dynamic young striker, perfectly fitting Arteta’s bold vision for the squad.
