Liverpool tipped to HIJACK Arsenal move for €90m-rated striker | OneFootball

Liverpool's No9 options diminishing

But the options are diminishing; Matheus Cunha has joined Manchester United and Liam Delap is off to Chelsea. Liverpool best not leave it too long or else their European and English rivals will swoop in ahead of them for forwards.

There are now signs however that Liverpool are ready to MUSCLE IN on a deal that Arsenal had planned in the centre-forward position. It concerns Benjamin Sesko, the RB Leipzig forward who scored 13 Bundesliga goals last season.

The Slovenian is under contract until 2029 but has been widely tipped for a Premier League move this summer.

Liverpool could move for Sesko

The Gunners are reckoned to be in the driving seat for the €90m-rated giant - but now Ben Jacobs on the Done Deal Show claims Liverpool could be making plans to hijack the deal.

“The biggest question mark will be over the number nine and if they can genuinely go for Alexander Isak,” he said.

“Will they drop the £100 million 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.”
