Al-Hilal want to sign a new striker and have lined up Arsenal target Benjamin Sesko as a potential addition to their squad.

Arsenal are on the verge of sealing a transfer for Viktor Gyokeres after agreeing to match Sporting CP's demands for the striker. The Gunners have agreed personal terms with the Swede, who has made up his mind about moving to the Premier League this summer. With Gyokeres' transfer almost sealed, Arsenal are no longer pursuing a move for RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko.

RB Leipzig have put Arsenal off signing Benjamin Sesko after the Gunners baulked at the German side's €100 million (£86m/$118m) asking price.

With the spending power among the elite clubs now greater than ever, there is likely to be a host of eye-watering deals in the coming weeks

Arsenal have received a potential breakthrough in their long-standing interest in Benjamin Sesko, with reports suggesting that RB Leipzig may be willing to negotiate a lower fee than initially demanded. The Premier League club has been actively searching for a top-tier striker this summer, and Sesko has consistently remained their preferred option.
