**_Al-Hilal are reportedly prepared to make a move for Arsenal-linked Benjamin Sesko this summer if they fail to land their top target, Victor Osimhen._**
The Gunners are currently in talks with RB Leipzig over a deal for Sesko, with optimism growing that an agreement can be reached sooner rather than later.
However, the 22-year-old striker is not short of suitors, with Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool all having been linked with a potential summer move.
Now, a new contender appears to have entered the race for the Slovenia international.
According to **_[CBS Sports journalist James Benge](https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/al-hilal-try-to-splash-transfer-cash-before-club-world-cup-but-struggle-to-land-stars-as-tournament-nears/)_**, Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal could turn their attention to Sesko if their pursuit of Napoli star Osimhen continues to stall. Recent reports suggest Osimhen has rejected an initial offer from the Saudi club.
Should they fail to secure the Nigerian forward's signature, Al-Hilal are ready to shift focus to Sesko, and they possess the financial muscle to meet Leipzig's valuation. They would also be able to offer the striker a lucrative contract.
However, it remains unclear whether Sesko would consider a move to Saudi Arabia at this stage of his career.
Judging by the latest developments, Mikel Arteta's side may need to act swiftly to secure their top striker target amid increasing interest from rival clubs.
