Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig is reportedly a target for Arsenal but they must compete with Manchester United and Chelsea to get him.
The transfer is expected to happen in the summer.
Known as one of Europe’s most exciting young strikers, the 20-year-old appears destined for the highest level of play.
A new center-forward is one of Mikel Arteta’s summertime priorities as he gets ready for Eddie Nketiah’s departure.
Nketiah has been placed up for sale by Arsenal, and several Premier League teams are considering making an offer for him, as exclusively disclosed by TEAMtalk
In terms of replacements, the Gunners have a number of intriguing options on their radar.

For example, Edu has Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres highly on his shortlist, but at £86 million, he would be a costly addition.
Ivan Toney of Brentford, Joshua Zirkzee of Bologna and other players have also been strongly linked to a move to the Emirates.
But according to a recent report, Arsenal is now focusing on Sesko, who would be open to moving to the Premier League.
Sesko ‘A Worthy Target’ For Arsenal
Arsenal is closely monitoring Sesko while deciding which striker to target in the summer transfer window.
Sesko paid Leipzig €24 million (about £20.6 million) to sign him last summer. This season, he has made 35 appearances across all competitions including eight in the Champions League and has scored 11 goals.
Sesko has all the skills necessary to be successful in the Premier League. He is good with the ball at his feet and surprisingly quick for a tall player.
Man Utd and Chelsea, who have been contemplating making an offer for the young player for some time are particularly interested in that.
Arsenal is reportedly interested in signing the forward, who is reportedly valued at around £35 million.
