Arsenal are working to make several changes in attack in the summer and we can reveal that talks are scheduled to take place soon over a new €65million (£55.8m) addition to Mikel Arteta’s ranks.

With the eventual exit of both Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus, the Gunners will have to purchase two new strikers this summer.

Sesko hunted by European big guns

It’s not only the Premier League who are keen on Sesko though, as mentioned, other European clubs are very interested in the player – including the likes of Napoli and AC Milan. But the chances of arriving in the Serie A are few at the moment.

Napoli have identified Sesko – together with Liell’s Jonathan David – among the possible strikers to replace Victor Osimhen who will leave at the end of the season, but the failure to qualify for the Champions League complicates everything.

Milan are trying, through intermediaries, to negotiate a lower price than the release clause but Leipzig said no, so the Rossoneri are exploring other options, such as Serhou Guirassy and David as well.

In general, the chances of Sesko leaving Germany are very high and, to reiterate, contact between Arsenal and Leipzig is scheduled in the next few days to discuss payment terms and other aspects related to the release clause.
