Arsenal's £70m move for RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko 'hits stumbling block as Gunners grow frustrated' in attempts to strengthen in attack

Arsenal are reportedly growing frustrated with Benjamin Sesko over the RB Leipzig star's wage demands.

The Gunners are keen to bring in Sesko, 22, this summer, with the £70million-rated Slovenian striker having been tracked by the club for a long time.

Mikel Arteta's side had offers rejected for Sesko last summer and in January and he is their No 1 target as they look to strengthen in attack having come second in the Premier League for the third consecutive season.

Arsenal are also eyeing-up Sporting Lisbon's Victor Gyokeres, who is valued at around £60m, but for now the Swede is viewed as an alternative to Sesko if a move can't be completed.
