Arsenal looking at Sesko, Liverpool's Diaz to Al Nassr?
Arsenal have made exploratory contact with RB Leipzig over a deal for striker Benjamin Sesko, reports the Daily Mail.The story is backed up by sources in Germany, with Florian Plettenberg confirming that Mikel Arteta wants Sesko to help cure his side's problems up front.
The Gunners tried to sign the player, who turns 22 on Saturday, last summer, but he opted to pen a new deal with the Bundesliga club.
However, with Leipzig missing out on European football for next season he appears to be back on the market.
The Slovenia international, who scored 27 Bundesliga goals across the last two seasons, would cost £92.5m, according to the Daily Telegraph.
- Liverpool winger Luis Díaz continues to attract interest from Al Nassr, the home of former Reds' winger Sadio Mané, according to The Telegraph.
The Colombia international has two years left on his Anfield contract with no agreement over an extension to the deal he signed when joining from FC Porto in 2022. Diaz enjoyed his best season for Liverpool this year, scoring 17 goals in 50 matches. Darwin Núñez, another Liverpool forward, is wanted by a Saudi club, in his case Al Hilal, per The Guardian.
The Uruguay forward endured a tough campaign at Anfield, scoring just five times in 30 Premier League games, and being reduced to mainly substitute appearances.
