Al Hilal eyeing shock move for Benjamin Sesko?

Sesko wanted by Al Hilal

Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal could make a shock approach for Arsenal target Benjamin Sesko after failing to land Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.

The Saudi heavyweights are keen on landing a marquee marksman before the transfer window initially closes on Tuesday evening for the Club World Cup.

Osimhen has been their main target for the last few days, but the Nigerian star has made it clear that he does not want to move away from Europe.

Al Hilal are searching for potential alternatives. Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres is one of those being considered, but he has no plans to join too.

CBS Sports claim that the club could now turn attention to Sesko, who has a release clause worth €80 million in his contract with RB Leipzig.

Arsenal have entered concrete negotiations with Leipzig for the 22-year-old, who registered 21 goals and six assists at club level last season.

They are looking to reduce the final fee for his transfer, but Al Hilal are now ready to tempt the striker with a staggering salary package.
