Arsenal have an agreement with RB Leipzig Benjamin Sesko over personal terms, according to Team News and Ticks on Patreon.
The Gunners account, famous for leaking team news on the internet and followed by the likes of Dharmesh Sheth, David Ornstein, Fabrizio Romano and Gary Jacobs on X (formerly known as Twitter), have been a trusted source concerning all things Arsenal for months, and they are claiming the North Londoners are now in negotiations with the Bundesliga club regarding a fee for the player.
Arsenal want a quick resolution and claims that Leipzig want £93 million for Sesko are said to be untrue, with his asking price said to be much lesser.
The Gunners have had to choose between the 21-year-old and Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres in their attempt to sign a new number 9, and it appears they have opted for the Slovenia international going by recent reports all week long.
Sesko was involved in 27 goals this term, bagging 13 goals and five assists in 33 Bundesliga games, weighing in with four goals in eight Champions League games and ending the DFB-Pokal (German Cup) with four goals and one assist.
The 6ft 5in striker is a constant aerial threat in the opposition box due to his height, but he is also comfortable on the ball and is a brilliant dribbler who loves to drop deep to contribute to play.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta loves his number 9 playing like that, which is one of the reasons he has happily deployed Kai Havertz as his preferred striker and opted to feature Mikel Merino in the position when the German got injured.
Sesko fits into the playing style the Gunners boss deploys, which could be why they have chosen him ahead of Gyokeres despite the Sweden international striker scoring 54 goals and assisting 13 times this term.
