RB Leipzig in contract talks with Arsenal target Benjamin Sesko (reliability: 5 stars)

RB Leipzig have opened talks with Benjamin Sesko over a new contract, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The 20-year-old forward has a release clause of £56 million and the Bundesliga side are looking to remove the clause.

The Slovenian has been linked with a move to several top clubs — including Arsenal — after scoring 18 goals in 42 games this season.

However, Leipzig want to keep Sesko at the club for at least another season and sell him for a free much higher than £56 million next summer.
