Arsenal and RB Leipzig are now in negotiations over striker Benjamin Seško after an agreement was reached with the player, reports Bild.

Previously, it was reported that Seško and Arsenal have reached an agreement over a move this summer. While the fee for the Slovenian is likely to be between €80-100m.

The striker is not the only player who is expected to leave the Red Bull Arena this summer.

Xavi Simons has made it clear that he wants to leave the club, and Leipzig will demand €70m for the Dutch international. Tottenham, Newcastle, Arsenal, Manchester United, as well as Barcelona, have all made contact with the 22-year-old.

Seško’s striker partner Loïs Openda has also been put up for sale by Leipzig.

On top of the departures of stalwarts of the club such as Peter Gulacsi,  Lukas Klostermann, Willi Orban, Kevin Kampl and Amadou Haidara, and Yussuf Poulsen and returning loanees, Timo Werner, Andre Silva and Eljif Elmas, Leipzig could rake in up to €250m in sales this summer.
