Benjamin Sesko has been flagged as Arsenal’s top target. However, the Slovenian international has opted to stay at RB Leipzig for the foreseeable future and signed a new long-term contract until 2029. A future move to the Emirates cannot be ruled out for Sesko. RB Leipzig have always been open to letting their best players go so when the time does come Arsenal have already laid the groundworks and established good relations with the Red Bull side which could give them the ascendancy in the race.

Arsenal targeted Benjamin Sesko, but he has opted to stay at RB Leipzig and extended his current deal with the German side.

The opportunity to join the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea represented 'great temptation' for Benjamin Sesko, according to his agent.

Arsenal was interested in Benjamin Sesko, who could have left Leipzig thanks to a success-dependent exit clause (up to 75 million euros). However, he decided to stay at RB Leipzig.

Benjamin Sesko has a gentleman's agreement with RB Leipzig to facilitate an exit from the club next summer. He has renewed his contract with Leipzig until 2029, rejecting interest from Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United in the process.

Sesko is wanted by both Arsenal and Chelsea, while Newcastle United have been linked with a swoop too. The two London clubs appear to be leading the race for Sesko’s signature. Arsenal have been the favourites to sign Sesko for several months, and have identified the Slovenian as their number one striker target. The 22-year-old currently has a €65 million release clause inserted into his Leipzig contract, and he is expected to leave the Bundesliga outfit before the summer transfer window ends.

Arsenal have made the forward a priority signing for the summer. However, the deal hangs in the balance due to intense interest in the player. Arsenal has made an offer, but it has not reached the player's valuation of €65 million. There is no guarantee that even if they do meet the valuation, the player will make the move. The player is yet to decide.

Arsenal have made a concrete step towards signing RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko but the Gunners have not submitted a bid big enough to trigger the player’s release clause. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta switched his focus to signing Sesko during the spring, when Kai Havertz’s hot form in front of goal convinced him that he did not need to blow a huge portion of his summer transfer budget on a player worth €100 million or more. Sesko has since intimated that he is open to joining the Emirates club ahead of other options in the Premier League, including Chelsea and Manchester United. Whether a deal is struck will now ultimately come down to whether Arsenal are willing to trigger the player’s release clause, which has risen to €65m due to his performances for Leipzig this season. FootballTransfers can confirm that Arsenal have launched a bid of €55m for the 21-year-old in the hope this is accepted. Given the interest in the forward, it is likely that the Bundesliga side knock this offer back and hold out for his full release clause.

The Gunners will however have to let go of 45 M£ or more than 52 M€. Mikel Arteta's team seems to have a lead in this case despite the strong competition.
