Arsenal have been informed what it will cost them to land Slovenian striker Benjamin Sesko who is one of their main targets.
Arsenal have held discussions with RB Leipzig over the potential transfer of Slovenian striker Benjamin Sesko but the Gunners might have to stretch to the limits to land their target.
Reports on Friday said coach Mikel Arteta has given the greenlight to the deal, allowing Sporting Director Andre Berta to begin talks with his Leipzig counterpart Marcel Schafer.
However, according to the Dailymail, the Gunners will need to pay a hefty transfer fee as the German club want £75 million for Sesko.

Arteta admitted last week that Arsenal might need to pay over and above their budget to get some of their targets in and it seems that might be the case with Sesko.
“The budget is like when you have your wedding: you plan your wedding with your wife and you give her a budget and it's never less, it's always more,” Arteta told the media.
“When you build a house, it's always more. Normally this happens. You prepare for different scenarios. Then unfortunate things happen. There are so many variables that can happen but there is a budget.

Ruben Amorim Reveals Why Bruno Fernandes Will Snub Al-Hilal for Manchester United
Ruben Amorim has shared why he believes Bruno Fernandes will stay at Manchester United despite Al-Hilal's interest.
“There is always an idea of what we can do, what we can improve, what the priorities are going to be and then let's see if we can do it.”
The Gunners are not known to spend big but have had to do it in recent years when they really feel the player is worth it like the £72 million spent on Nicolas Pepe, although the player flopped, as well as the £100 million outlay on Declan Rice.
