HERE WE GO!: Arsenal agree fee to sign Europe leading goalscoring striker who is valued at £143million as the striker insists on his preferred shirt number

According to TBR Football, Arsenal is purportedly of the opinion that they possess adequate financial resources to pursue a move for RB Leipzig attacker Benjamin Sesko in the month of January.

Mikel Arteta has recognised that Arsenal requires reinforcements up front after Gabriel Jesus suffered an injury that prevented him from playing for the remainder of the season. The Gunners are now attempting to persuade Leipzig to trade Sesko in the middle of the season.

It has been claimed that Arsenal has requested that the Bundesliga club provide a price for the Slovenian player. Arsenal’s own appraisal now stands at £65 million, which is a figure that is considered to be “affordable” for the North London club this month.

They are seeking for a “launch” in PAOK – Olympiacos: The headlines (10/11), and AEK is “starry at the top” in their pursuit of it.

It is thought that Sesko has a gentleman’s agreement with Leipzig, which states that any bid in the range of €70 million (£59 million) would at least be carefully evaluated. After signing a new deal with Leipzig last summer, Sesko is reported to have signed a new contract with Leipzig.

Because of the Emirates’ increased interest in the matter

Jurgen Klopp, who is now serving as the Global Head of Football at Red Bull, is reportedly in contact with RB Leipzig to determine whether or not to indulge Arsenal’s rising interest in Sesko. This information comes from TBR Football.

Despite the fact that the Gunners have previously been notified that a loan deal would not be approved under any circumstances, they continue to be interested in making a permanent transfer for the striker who is 21 years old. At the beginning of this month, it was thought that Leipzig had no interest in selling their team, but if they were offered a significant price, they may alter their minds.

While playing for Leipzig this season, Sesko has been an important player, as he has scored 14 goals in a total of 26 games across all competitions.

In the summer of 2017, the 21-year-old player was extensively connected with a move to the Emirates. However, he put a stop to the speculation by signing a long-term agreement with the German club, which would keep him with the club until June 2029.

According to reports, Arsenal is putting a high priority on acquiring a new striker in light of the fact that Jesus and Bukayo Saka have both had setbacks. Arsenal is likely to be active during the last days of the January transfer window.

After undergoing surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the Brazilian striker has been ruled out for the duration of the season. On the other hand, Saka is anticipated to return to action in March, after being off for two months.
