Arsenal in concrete talks to sign Benjamin Sesko

Arsenal have entered concrete negotiations to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Gunners are keen on bolstering their strike force for next season and they have been heavily linked with Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres lately.

The Swede is open to moving to the Premier League with the Gunners and sporting director Andrea Berta is a huge admirer of his services.

However, it appears manager Mikel Arteta has different plans in mind and he would prefer to recruit Sesko from Leipzig in the next window.

Arteta has been a huge admirer of the 21-year-old marksman and believes he has the credentials to become a world-class striker in years to come.

The Gunners have now opened concrete talks for the young Slovenian. Arsenal could sign one of the best striking prospects in world football.

Gyokeres could still end up in the Premier League with Chelsea. The Blues have recently joined the pursuit of the former Coventry City man.
