Benjamin Sesko decides preferred transfer destination amid Arsenal, Chelsea & Man Utd interest | OneFootball

RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko is reported to be focused on moving to the Premier League, where Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are among his suitors.

Sesko has been linked with most of Europe's elite since his time in Austria with Red Bull Salzburg, and the excitement surrounding the 21-year-old has only grown during a prolific spell in Germany which has yielded 35 goals in eight assists in 78 appearances across all competitions.

Now expected to take the next step in his career this summer, Sesko will have no shortage of suitors. BILD state that, alongside the Premier League interest, he is wanted by AC Milan and fellow Bundesliga side Bayern Munich, who see him as a possible long-term heir to Harry Kane's place in the side.

It is the strength of the Premier League which has swayed Sesko, who will favour a move to England's top flight when considering his options at the end of the season.

Arsenal, Chelsea and United are all known admirers of Sesko and all three sides are expected to be part of what could be an incredibly hectic battle for a number of Europe's most valuable strikers.

Alongside Sesko, the trio are among the suitors of Napoli's Victor Osimhen, Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres and Newcastle United's Alexander Isak, but the sheer extent of competition for big-name strikers this summer has also sparked interest in Ipswich Town's Liam Delap, Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike and Lille's Jonathan David, among others.

Working in Sesko's favour is a comparatively reasonable price tag. A release clause currently sits at €70m (£58.5m) but could rise as high as €80m (£66.9m) if the Slovenia striker meets more performance-related targets.

A recent report even claimed Leipzig would be prepared to listen to offers of around €70m regardless of his release clause situation.

For now, Sesko's focus remains on finishing the season with Leipzig and the battle to secure a spot in the Bundesliga's top four, with any specific decision on his future shelved until the summer.
