Benjamin Sesko’s representatives have pivoted sharply this summer, reportedly establishing contact with Liverpool following Arsenal’s decision to prioritise another striker.
This shift comes after Arsenal moved closer to securing Viktor Gyokeres, opening a window of opportunity for other Premier League suitors, including the Reds, to step in
Both Liverpool and Arsenal are looking for a new striker this summer and they have earmarked Sesko as one of the players who could improve their team and provide their attack the cutting edge that they lack.
Sesko scored 21 goals for the German club last season in all competitions, once again showcasing his quality to perform at the highest level, as well as impressing some of the biggest clubs in the process.

According to TBR Football, with the Gunners now focusing on signing Gyokeres this summer, Sesko’s agent has intiated contact with Liverpool for a move to Anfield.
Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Newcastle United have all been contacted by Sesko’s agent.
The Slovenian striker, who had been heavily linked with a switch to the Emirates throughout the early stages of the summer transfer window, is said to be disappointed by the breakdown in talks but he is now thinking about other options in the market.
Crucially, staying at RB Leipzig is not being ruled out. The 22-year-old enjoyed a solid campaign in Germany last season.
