Arsenal are reportedly still interested in a potential transfer move RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Seskoalthough it will cost at least 70 million euros.
Leipzig will surely struggle to keep hold of Sesko, who has long been regarded as one of the best young strikers in Europe.
Arsenal would certainly do well to sign Sesko, but it looks like this deal won’t come cheap, with All Files reporting that Leipzig will not let their star player go for less than 70 million euros.
Arsenal move into pole position for Bundesliga star!
To be fair, Arsenal would probably have to pay if they want to bolster their attack, and €70m isn’t exactly that much in today’s market.
The transfer of Benjamin Sesko could be a bargain for Arsenal
Sesko may be young and yet to prove himself in the Premier League, but €70m could end up looking like a bargain if he fulfills his potential.
Conversely, Newcastle United want up to £150m for Alexander Isak (according to telegraph), which is surely unaffordable for Arsenal, and indeed for most clubs.
Isak would probably be the dream signing for Mikel Arteta’s side as he has already shown how dangerous he can be at this level, but AFC must be realistic.
Sesko looks like he would be a good fit for Arsenal as he resembles Kai Havertz in his style of play, giving Arteta the type of tall, physical centre-forward he likes to have in his teams.
Still, there might be an argument to go for someone else like Isak as well, as it would allow Arsenal to mix things up a bit more.
In theory, Gabriel Jesus could provide that alternative, but he has been far too inconsistent during his time at the Emirates Stadium, while his fitness record isn’t the best either.
