Overview

• Arsenal have begun concrete negotiations with RB Leipzig to bring in 21-year-old forward Benjamin Sesko this summer.
• RB Leipzig set a £92.5 million asking price for Sesko but are open to agreeing a fee closer to £60–70 million.
• Sesko netted 21 goals and supplied six assists in 45 appearances last season and may seek a move after Leipzig missed out on Champions League qualification.
• Leipzig have told Sesko he can depart immediately to accelerate any transfer, underscoring their urgency to sell.
• Arsenal continue to consider Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres as an alternative target if talks over Sesko stall.
