RB Leipzig set eye-watering price tag for Benjamin Sesko as Arsenal plot swoop for 21-goal striker

<p>According to a report from the <em>Irish Independent</em>, Leipzig have set an astronomical price tag for their highly sought-after forward Sesko amid links with Arsenal. Indeed, the Red Bull outfit are demanding a whopping €110 million (£92m) for the Slovenian international. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>At the age of 21, Sesko has earned a reputation as one of the best young strikers in Europe, scoring 21 goals in 45 games in all competitions for Leipzig in the 2024-25 season. However, with his contract running until 2029, the young striker will not be let go of easily by his current employers. While reports suggest that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-striker-problem-gunners-rb-leipzig-benjamin-sesko-mikel-arteta-trophyless-campaign/bltfbf442613391eb04" target="_blank">Arsenal have opened talks with Sesko</a>, negotiations will not be easy. But head coach Mikel Arteta has already <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/mikel-arteta-hints-arsenal-spend-big-striker-gunners-viktor-gyokeres-alexander-isak-benjamin-sesko/blt26ffb638adaa5246#csfbda3a19cee6de9d" target="_blank">acknowledged that they will spend big on transfers this season</a>, hinting that acquiring a player like Sesko is already a part of their plans for next season.  </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speculation might have linked Sesko with Arsenal, but earlier this week, reports claimed that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-table-eur70m-transfer-bid-viktor-gyokeres-sending-club-officials-meet-sporting-cp-striker-s-agent/blte59921ae134a3616#csd6a87af9924d539d" target="_blank">the Gunners have sent a formal offer worth €70m (£58m) to Sporting CP for Viktor Gyokeres</a>. They are the favourites to sign him, with Bayern Munich and Manchester United also interested in landing the player.  </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Sesko will next be seen in action for the Slovenia national team, as they take on Luxembourg and Bosnia and Herzegovina in international friendlies in June. </p>
