Liverpool are showing interest in a summer move for Arsenal target Benjamin Sesko, according to Sky Sports.
The Reds have reportedly earmarked the Slovenia international as a potential striker target, alongside Victor Osimhen and Hugo Ekitike, and are keeping tabs on Sesko’s developing situation in Germany.
The 21-year-old forward is expected to leave Leipzig this summer and has no shortage of Premier League suitors, with both Arsenal and Manchester United holding talks over a possible move.
The Gunners are even believed to be preparing an initial bid for the striker, who was heavily linked with a move to the Emirates last summer before penning a new four-year deal with Leipzig.

Moves for Wirtz and Kerkez advancing
Sesko
According to Sky Sports, Liverpool are prioritising moves for a new striker, left-back and attacking midfielder, with Milos Kerkez and Florian Wirtz emerging as key targets for the latter two roles.
The Reds are believed to be in talks with Bayer Leverkusen over a potential £109m swoop for Wirtz, and have received the green light from Kerkez over a summer transfer.
A new striker is likely to arrive once those two deals are completed, with the likes of Sesko, Osimhen, Ekitike and Alexander Isak all under consideration.
Sesko has enjoyed a career-best season in Germany, scoring 21 goals and providing six assists in 45 appearances across all competitions.
The 6ft 4in striker, praised as a 'speed demon', also netted four times in the Champions League, where Leipzig were surprisingly eliminated in the group stage after winning just once.
Sesko is under contract until June 2029 and is believed to be demanding wages of around £200,000 per week at his next club.
