Arsenal could prioritise the signing of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko at the end of the campaign, according to Daily Mail.

The Gunners were hot on the trail of the Slovenian star last summer, but he ended up signing a new long-term deal with Leipzig.

Sesko was reluctant to play second fiddle to Kai Havertz, who had a brilliant end to last season. This was a big reason behind his choice.

This has not ended the speculation regarding his future and reports claim that Arsenal are still keen on landing his services from Leipzig.

The 21-year-old has netted 10 goals from 22 appearances for his club this term which is the exact same tally as Havertz for Arsenal.

However, he has a much higher ceiling than the German. His high pressing and brilliant finishing skills are among his main strengths.

Arsenal will have to pay a premium fee for the young striker. It has been reported that he could cost around £70 million next summer.
