Arsenal’s bid to sign Benjamin Sesko has heated up as possible suitors emerge; with Chelsea waiting in the wings.

Sesko has a £56 million release clause, making him a viable option to bolster Arsenal’s attack.

Multiple clubs are eyeing the young striker, but Arsenal are currently seen as frontrunners in securing his signature.

Arsenal’s bid to sign Benjamin Sesko continues to burn on as we grow closer to the start of pre-season in the Premier League, with the RB Leipzig striker continuing to see new clubs linked to his services by the day – but if they wish to move for the youngster, it will be in the coming days with Sesko’s agents claiming that teams ‘ideally’ must make a decision before the start of the European Championships next week.

The Gunners’ interest in the striker is no secret, and with multiple teams circling him, they will be hoping that they can fend off other admirers to batter out a deal for his signature. And despite Chelsea waiting in the wings, Arsenal believe they are the favourites at present.

Arsenal have been linked with the RB Leipzig striker for a number of weeks, and with Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah especially failing to produce the goods at the Emirates Stadium in the season just gone, a new talisman is needed to produce the goods in north London.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Sesko scored 14 Bundesliga goals in his debut season in Germany this season.

Sesko’s release clause of £55million makes him semi-attainable off the bat for any club, and that could prompt Arsenal to make a bid for the Slovenian striker in the coming days, should Mikel Arteta and his coaching staff see fit to do so to help their attack out next season, in what should be a third title race in three years.

According to GIVEMESPORT sources, it is Chelsea who are awaiting the response of Sesko’s agents after they sent an offer to the Slovenian over a potential move. The Blues want to agree personal terms with the young hitman before they pay the release clause set by RB Leipzig to avoid any confusion over a deal.

However, there are five other clubs who have said that they are happy to pay the release clause set for the striker, with Saudi clubs having reportedly registered their interest in giving Sesko millions in wages; though the striker has turned them down with a view to obtaining permanent Champions League football.
