Arsenal’s £70m move for RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko ‘hits stumbling block

Arsenal is said to be frustrated by Benjamin Sesko about the wage requirements of the RB Leipzig star.

The Gunners would like Sesko, 22, with the Slovenian striker of £ 70 million with £ 70 million that has been followed by the club for a long time.

The side of Mikel Arteta had rejected Sesko last summer and in January and he is their target of the goal if they want to strengthen in the attack as second in the Premier League for the third consecutive season.

Arsenal is also aware of Sporting Lisbon's Victor Gyokeres, which is appreciated at around £ 60 million, but for now the Swede is seen as an alternative to Sesko as a movement cannot be completed.

And according to the sun, Arsenal's hope to bring in Sesko has hit a stumbling block with regard to its wage requirements.

The report claims that Sesko at a much higher level asks for a deal than the Gunners intended to offer.

This can hinder any potential transfer, and it is a problem that a reconsideration of the Perspective of Arsenal can force.

Gyokeres would realize that he is not the first choice of Arsenal, but he is still desperately looking for a move to the Premier League after a stunning season in which he scored 53 goals and added 13 assists in just 52 games for sport.

The Portuguese side is willing to sell him, and the Gunners and their sports director Andrea Berta would like to ensure that they do not miss both goals.

Meanwhile, in the midst of speculation about Sesko, which is linked to various top European clubs and this week also rejected an offer from Saudi-Arab side Al-Hilal, the 22-year-old agent Elvis Basanovic gave an update about the situation this week.

“Even if there can be a strong wish of the player – or will be to move to a certain club, we will never force or blackmail RB Leipzig,” he told Givemesport.

'I believe this is not the right way, because the way you actually go out of the club shows your values. Values ​​that brings you to a new club.

'I can understand it in very large transfers, there are many different interests, but whatever happens, I believe that the football world should be more respect. So that's why we do things in the right way or we don't do them.

“It's very simple, even in the media it looks very complicated.”

Basanovic also emphasized what a special talent is his customer and hinted that they are relaxed about his future.

'[Sesko’s] Figures at his age compared to some strikers with all great careers at his age confirm my words, “he added.

“He will only move from RB Leipzig if we recognize a special club, a special project with a special coach.”

Elsewhere, the report also claimed that Arsenal will be confronted with a double stroke in the transfer market, with Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi promoting a transfer to Liverpool instead of moving to the Emirates.

The defender of England has only had a year over his deal in Selhurst Park and is connected to various clubs, including Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea and Newcastle.

With the World Cup that will be discussed next summer, Guehi, who has won 23 England caps, is supposed to be desperate for regular football.

And the report claims that he is not sure that that would be the case under Arteta, with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes his undisputed starting partnership.
