Competition for Arsenal! Al-Hilal ready to turn to Benjamin Sesko after Victor Osimhen snubs move to Saudi Pro League side

CBS Sports state that Al-Hilal have placed Sesko on their transfer wishlist after abandoning their pursuit of Osimhen. They add that it is uncertain whether or not the 22-year-old would move to the Saudi Pro League but Al-Hilal have the finances to match Leipzig's demands and pay the forward 'handsomely'.

Arsenal are said to be leading the race for the £60 million-rated ($81m) attacker but a deal for the 6ft 5in player is far from certain. Gunners fans have been crying out for a new striker in recent seasons but Al-Hilal's interest could complicate matters for Mikel Arteta's side.

Slovenia international Sesko has been in fine form for Leipzig since signing from Red Bull Salzburg in 2023. In his first season at the Bundesliga team, he scored 18 goals, and this term he added a further 21 goals.

Sesko is likely to leave Leipzig this summer after the German side failed to qualify for Champions League football next season. But it is not yet certain which team will be able to secure his signature ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
