Arsenal is reportedly ready to break their transfer record to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Šeško, with a price tag now set at
£92 million. The 22-year-old forward, who has netted
27 Bundesliga goals over the last two seasons, was a target last summer but chose to renew his contract with Leipzig.
Šeško scored
21 goals in 45 matches during the most recent campaign, but Leipzig's failure to qualify for European football may force the club to consider lucrative offers.
Initial reports suggested a fee of around
£60 million would suffice, but the asking price has since nearly doubled, reflecting the player's rising value and Arsenal's determination.
Manager Mikel Arteta has remained cautious about revealing Arsenal's transfer plans but acknowledged that while a budget exists, the club is willing to exceed it if necessary. He indicated that sporting director Andrea Berta has the authority to "
break the bank" to secure key targets.
This move signals Arsenal's ambition to strengthen their squad significantly ahead of the upcoming season, aiming to bolster their attacking options with a proven Bundesliga talent.
