Arsenal are in ‘pole position’ to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko in the summer transfer window, according to reports.
The Slovenian international has scored in each of his last six Bundesliga matches with Leipzig unbeaten in 10 games. Someone like Sesko – who is very young but able to contribute now – could be perfect. As we have seen with Rasmus Hojlund at Manchester United, the pressure of being the main man for a big Premier League club does not always work out for young strikers.
It was previously reported that Sesko had a release clause worth £43million, however, his performances in recent weeks could see that figure jump up to £64m, the report states. Arsenal ‘ramp up’ interest in £42.7m striker as Edu ‘approves’ two transfers as huge budget is revealed
