Liverpool are preparing to rival Arsenal in the pursuit of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, potentially disrupting the Gunners’ plans to secure the Slovenian international, according to Ben Jacobs.
Sesko, valued at £67 million, has attracted significant interest following his impressive performances in the Bundesliga.
Arsenal have been closely monitoring Sesko, with sporting director Andrea Berta initiating discussions with RB Leipzig to explore the structure of a potential deal.
However, Liverpool’s interest could complicate matters. The Reds, seeking to strengthen their forward line to replace Darwin Nunez, see Sesko as a player who could add a new dimension to their attack.

Jacobs has provided the latest update regarding Liverpool’s interest in Sesko on The Done Deal Show.
“The biggest question mark will be over the number nine and if they can genuinely go for Alexander Isak,” Jacobs said.
“Will they drop the £100m that Frankfurt are asking for Hugo Ekitike, they could even enter the race for Benjamin Sesko even though it feels like Arsenal are more advanced on that one at the moment.”
