Rb leipzig name their price for benjamin sesko as arsenal eye stunning transfer

ARSENAL ARE IN THE MARKET FOR A GOALSCORER THIS SUMMER AND SPORTING DIRECTOR ANDREA BERTA HAS HELD TALKS WITH RB LEIPZIG CHIEF MARCEL SCHAFER OVER A DEAL FOR BENJAMIN SESKO 10:37, 31 May

2025 Arsenal have reportedly opened talks with RB Leipzig over a £75million deal to sign Benjamin Sesko, with Mikel Arteta looking to strengthen his attack this summer. A new striker is top

of his shopping list, with the Gunners missing a prolific goalscorer. Kai Havertz was Arsenal's top scorer in the Premier League last season with nine strikes. Only Manchester United

and relegated Southampton had a top scorer who managed less goals, while Sesko netted 13 times in the Bundesliga for Leipzig. According to a report from the Daily Mail, Arsenal's new

sporting director Andrea Berta has held talks with Leipzig chief Marcel Schafer about Sesko. It is claimed that Leipzig want an initial £75m fee for the 21-year-old. And Arteta recently

claimed that the club could break their transfer record this summer, with Declan Rice's £100m move from West Ham in 2023 Arsenal's current record signing "The budget is like

when you have your wedding: you plan your wedding with your wife and you give her a budget and it's never less, it's always more," Arteta said. READ MORE: Transfer news LIVE:

'we' I think it's always a decision that all of us have to come together. "Then obviously in certain aspects, the club, the financial aspects, whether it's the

strategy or this or that, they have a bigger say than me because I don't want to have an opinion on that. I would have probably a reference but not a strong opinion. "When

it's more technical or tactical aspects of how I think that player is going to now emerge and be cohesive with the group of players that we have and where I see them now developing and

what we want to do next with another player, of course it's more in between the sporting director, in this case Andrea, myself and all the scouting department." It is claimed that

Arsenal have also held talks with Sporting Lisbon over Viktor Gyokeres, with the 26-year-old another striker who has caught the eye of several clubs across Europe. Gyokeres netted 39 goals

in 33 Liga Portugal games last season as Sporting won the league. Berta is said to be a big fan of Gyokeres, but the likes of Chelsea and Juventus are also said to be interested in the

former Coventry star. Article continues below _Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content. We also treat our community members to special offers,
