Arsenal are one of the clubs keeping tabs on RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Šeško, according to Calciomercato.
The striker arrived at the Bundesliga side in the summer and has scored six goals from 12 games this season. On Monday, his agent told Sportitalia that he’d held talks with AC Milan in the past and also left the door open for a future move to the San Siro.
Calciomercato relay that and then add that the 20-year-old is open to joining the Serie A side and the Rossoneri are also in favour of his arrival. However, a deal won’t be easy to carry out because of several factors, including Arsenal’s interest.
The report states the Austria international’s valuation has more than doubled from €20m to ‘no less than’ €45-50m.
Apart from the financial aspect, Stefano Pioli’s side will face ‘fierce’ competition from other clubs, and ‘in particular Arsenal’, to secure his services.
It’s claimed the Gunners have had their eyes on the frontman for a while and have had direct relationship with his camp. The close ties between the two parties may help Arsenal to overcome Milan.
