EXCL: Arsenal ready to step up Joshua Zirkzee transfer interest after Benjamin Sesko snub

Arsenal are closely monitoring an alternative to Benjamin Sesko following the breaking news from earlier today...

Arsenal remain interested in Joshua Zirkzee and could now step up that interest following Benjamin Sesko’s decision to stay at RB Leipzig this summer.

The Gunners are looking to bolster their firepower this summer and were one of several Premier League clubs in the running for Sesko following his fine season with the Bundesliga outfit.

But the Slovenia international has now decided to stay in Germany for at least another season and is set to sign a new and improved deal, one that will remove his current release clause of £55m.
