Arsenal are the frontrunners ahead of Chelsea and Manchester United to complete the £55.3m deal.
Benjamin Sesko has a £55.3m release clause in his deal Arsenal are at the head of the queue in the race to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko this summer. The 21-year-old is attracting interest from across Europe, with a £65m release clause in his contract set to become active this summer. The main interest is coming from the Premier League, with Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool all keen on Sesko.
Sesko netted 18 times for Leipzig last term The Bundesliga club are desperate to keep Sesko, not least because they feel he will be worth considerably more than his release clause in years to come. Leipzig are willing to offer Sesko a new deal that will see his salary increase dramatically. But it remains to be seen whether the striker will opt to leave, and several clubs are expected to trigger his release clause.
