Arsenal have stepped up talks with Red Bull Leipzig for striker Benjamin Sesko.
The Gunners are working to get a deal done at around £70million for the Slovenian but are yet to bid.
Sesko, who scored 21 goals and had six assists in all competitions last season, including four in the Champions League, wants the move.
The Gunners previously had offers for Sesko rejected in May last year and during the most recent January transfer window.
The north Londoners had looked to bolster their forward options in January and put in offers for Sesko and Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins, both of which were rejected.
