Arsenal are reportedly interested in RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, with Liverpool also linked with the 20-year-old forward.

According to the Mirror, the Gunners are keeping tabs on Slovenia international, who has enjoyed a bright start to life in the Bundesliga after making the well-trodden move from RB Salzburg to Leipzig.

Likened to Erling Haaland, the £52m-rated youngster is regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting prospects, and Liverpool have also been reported with a move for Sesko in recent months.

Given the forward’s age, it makes sense why Liverpool would be interested in signing Sesko, who has all the makings of becoming a superstar striker in the years to come.

However, interest from Arsenal could now be an issue for the Reds, with the centre-forward believed to be Mikel Arteta’s next big purchase in the transfer market.

And Sesko could be the man the Gunners’ boss moves for, with Liverpool seemingly helpless in any bid Arsenal might make for the youngster in 2024.

Arsenal beating Liverpool to Sesko would be a massive blow

Sesko is firmly on the path to stardom after an impressive start in the Bundesliga with Leipzig, yet Arsenal beating Liverpool to the forward would be a blow.

The attacker is one of the most exciting forwards in the world and a prospect who could become a force in the Premier League with the right club and playing under the right manager.

And for Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp would be a dream match for Sesko, though Arsenal’s interest could throw a big spanner in the works over a potential deal.
