Arsenal and RB Leipzig have held talks over a deal for Benjamin Sesko, with the German club hoping to secure a fee in the region of £70million. The Gunners have made signing a new striker a priority this summer as they look to strengthen their squad.

Arsenal ’s hunt for a new striker continues and talks with RB Leipzig over a move for Benjamin Sesko have not yielded much progress, according to reports. The Gunners were left very short up front last season after injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz, with midfielder Mikel Merino filling in as a centre-forward.
