Arsenal could lodge an offer for Benjamin Sesko

 

Arsenal have reportedly decided to ā€˜step upā€™ their offer for Benjamin Sesko, setting aside approximately Ā£59million to land the striker, a figure rival interested side Barcelona will find ā€˜difficultā€™ to pay.

 

Arsenal are aware of the need to improve up top. Just as Gabriel Jesus hit form as Kai Havertzā€™s understudy, he was sidelined with a major injury thatā€™s likely to keep him out all season.

 

 

Bukayo Saka has also been sidelined for months, and Mikel Arteta has revealed his intention to land a new attacker.

 

 

RB Leipzigā€™s Sesko has been frequently linked with the Gunners, and a recent report stated they were weighing up making an offer of Ā£70million for the striker.

 

 

Now, El Nacional states they have indeed ā€˜decided to step up their effortsā€™ for Sesko, but they will only put an offer of ā‚¬70million (Ā£59.2m/$72.6m) on the table.

 

 

Interest in the Leipzig man from Barcelona has also recently been reported.

 

 

However, the new report states their financial limitations make it ā€˜difficult to competeā€™ with the financial power of the Premier League, leaving the way open for Arsenal. It seems unlikely that a bid of that value would be accepted, though.

Arsenal would need to lodge mammoth offer

 

 

The willingness from Sesko to join Arsenal has reportedly already been shown, though the club-to-club negotiations provide an obstacle.

 

 

The strikerā€™s own agent has suggested a January move is unlikely unless a mammoth offer arrives.

 

 

In the summer, those problems will not be in the way, as Sesko is said to have a gentlemanā€™s agreement with Leipzig to leave then.
