*ARSENAL*’s push to sign a striker has hit a pothole as they learn top target Benjamin Sesko’s asking price, with reports claiming that the Bundesliga giants would now like £70 million for their star man.
Despite Chelsea and ARSENAL claiming Champions League football this season, there has been alot of speculation that both clubs need to delve into that transfer kitty and add a striker that has the ability to score 20, 30 or even 40 goals a season.
Sesko has been on the agenda of the Premier League giants for the last few seasons, but made the decision last year that he wanted to stay put for one more season to help his development, with many believing that a move will happen this transfer window.
Arsenal have been named as the favourites to get a transfer deal done for the big man but the Gunners were told of the asking price as sporting director Andrea Berta held a ‘secret meeting’ with his Leipzig counterpart.
Sesko’s contract features a variable release clause which changes based on his performance.
icfootballnews says…
Sesko is a very young striker that has the ability to score some goals, in the Bundesliga. The Premier League will be a massive step up for the lad that he may struggle with making if he joins the wrong team.
Chelsea have been linked with the lad, as they will continue to be linked until he moves, but we cannot see him signing for the Blues as Chelsea have quite a few striking options already.
Mikel Arteta knows that he needs a striker and Sesko is just the type of forward he would surely like at the club. If ARSENAL really want to sign a top forward, then they have to start spending the money.
Is £70 million alot for one of the best young strikers around?
