Arsenal, Bayern Munich Advance Talks for RB Leipzig Striker Sesko

Arsenal is making significant progress in their pursuit of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, with talks advancing and Leipzig already seeking a replacement striker in case Sesko departs. The 22-year-old Slovenian forward has become Arsenal's primary target after shelving interest in Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres, with Arsenal reportedly preparing a formal bid around £85 million. Sesko's consistent Bundesliga performances have attracted attention from top clubs, including Bayern Munich, who remain interested and see him as a long-term successor to Harry Kane, though Arsenal currently hold the upper hand in negotiations. Leipzig's proactive move to open talks with Goztepe striker Romulo indicates their intent to secure a replacement before finalizing Sesko's sale. Sesko's arrival is expected to strengthen Arsenal's attacking options and allow tactical adjustments, enhancing the team's goal-scoring capability. Despite interest from Saudi club Al-Hilal, Sesko prioritizes staying in Europe, and his transfer is closely watched as a key move in this transfer window.
