RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko was strongly linked with a move to Arsenal, Chelsea and several other Premier League sides in the summer. However, he ended up staying at the Red Bull Arena and also signed a new deal with the Bundesliga side.

It has been claimed that Mikel Arteta is still keen on the 21-year-old Slovenia international as his priority target. The young striker, blessed with a 6 ft 5 in frame, has scored 11 goals and provided three assists in 23 appearances this season.

FootballTransfers claims that the Gunners are lining up Gyokeres as the alternative if they fail to land Sesko from RB Leipzig. The Sweden international has been scoring for fun for Sporting CP since his reported €24 million switch from Coventry City in 2023.

Gyokeres has been one of the most lethal strikers in Europe in Sporting CP colors having found the back of the net on 70 occasions in 75 games. He has been a regular provider of assists too having created 20 goals for his teammates.

The 26-year-old has been heavily linked with a host of clubs across Europe following his exploits for Sporting CP. Chelsea have also been heavily linked with the Swede in recent months.

Sporting are reportedly ready to sell Gyokeres for €65 million and have no shortage of suitors for his services. The Sweden international is understood to be keen on joining a club who can offer him Champions League football as well as regular first-team football.
