🇸🇮 🔴⚪️ RB Leipzig have indeed started negotiations with Arsenal over the Benjamin Šeško deal. Gunners’ objective is to make progress on several fronts simultaneously to avoid being left empty-handed if talks were to break down. For now, Šeško does not have a personal agreement with the English club, whereas… Gyökeres has already given his verbal agreement to join the Gunners.. Wait&See. #mercato #RBL
🚨🔴⚪️ EXCL | Arsenal are now in concrete talks with RB Leipzig regarding Benjamin #Sesko! Marcel Schäfer and Andrea Berta are in contact. While Arsenal are also monitoring other strikers such as Viktor Gyökeres, their pursuit of Sesko is serious. Mikel Arteta is a big admirer of the 21 y/o forward from RB Leipzig. His release clause for the summer stands at €80 million. Deal on. @philipphinze24 | @SkySportDE 🇸🇮
