Liverpool have genuine interest in signing 17-goal star

Liverpool have a genuine interest in signing RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko at the end of the campaign, according to Givemesport.

The Merseyside giants are expected to spend big during the summer transfer window, and a marquee striker could be prioritised by them.

Darwin Nunez has been very inconsistent leading the attack and manager Arne Slot has urged the hierarchy to pursue a replacement.

Newcastle United's Alexander Isak has been linked with the club lately, but GMS claim that Sesko is another genuine target for the Reds.

The Slovenian ace has netted 17 goals and provided five assists this term. He has a release clause worth £59m in his contract this summer.

The price tag could make him a tempting choice for the Reds, but they are expected to face fierce competition from the Gunners for him.

Arsenal tried to sign Sesko from Leipzig last summer, but the striker decided to continue his development at the German side for another year.
