Arsenal have scheduled a fresh round of talks with RB Leipzig for the potential transfer of Benjamin Sesko, according to Florian Plettenberg.
The Gunners are expected to sign a new centre-forward this summer and they have identified Sesko as their priority target ahead of Viktor Gyokeres.
The club have already held negotiations with Leipzig for the 22-year-old and they are expected to hold fresh discussions to negotiate payment terms.
Leipzig are eyeing a package between €80 million to €100 million for the marksman, who registered 21 goals and six assists last campaign.
Personal terms may not be an issue with the centre-forward, but Arsenal need to sort out payment terms with Leipzig at the earliest possibility.
Arsenal have a free run at signing the Slovenian ace at the moment, but they can’t afford to play the waiting game for the striker.
Manchester United are closely monitoring the situation and could aim to hijack the deal if they can offload Rasmus Hojlund soon.
