Arsenal have received a boost in their pursuit of Benjamin Sesko after his representative revealed that Italian clubs will struggle to afford the striker and that he does not want to relocate to Saudi Arabia.
Sesko is being pursued by Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and other major teams following a successful debut season with RB Leipzig.

The 20-year-old, who scored 14 goals in the Bundesliga, has a release clause worth roughly £55 million, and his representative has stated that he is considering his options.
There is interest from clubs in Italy and Saudi Arabia, but Sesko’s agent, Elvis Basanovic, has indicated that the Premier League is his client’s most likely destination.
“I can say that there is interest in Benjamin, both from the Premier League and from Italy,” Basanovic told Slovenian broadcaster Sportklub. According to Yahoo Sports.
“But out of respect, I can’t talk about the names of the clubs. We are talking about top clubs. We have to realise that Benjamin is currently in a top club.
“There are very few people who realise how big a club Leipzig is. There are certainly eventful weeks ahead of us.
“It is my duty to listen to offers that arise. We need to work on giving Benjamin more opportunities at the end of the season. But that’s his decision.
“We will suggest what is best for his long-term development. Leipzig is trying extremely hard to keep Benjamin.
“They have their arguments on the side of development, they are also a big club with excellent conditions. They have strong cards. Healthy development takes precedence over the economic side.
