Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig is reportedly in transfer discussions with Arsenal, according Mail Sport. Everyone is aware that this is just the beginning of the conversations.

After a disappointing second-place finish, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta will need to bolster his offence for the upcoming season.
Arsenal have ended in second place for three years in a row and were unable to win any hardware last year. Both of Arsenal’s bids for Sesko last summer and January were turned down.
But Leipzig is asking £92.5 million for the Slovenian international, so he won’t be cheap. He’s 21 years old. Arteta was depleted in the final third for the second half of the campaign due to the major injuries sustained by Gabriel Jesus in January and Kai Havertz in February.
