The summer transfer window won’t reopen in Europe for a while yet, but there are plenty of moves in the works and gossip swirling around. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!
TOP STORY: Race heating up for Sesko
RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko is being monitored by Arsenal, Chelsea and Napoli, reports Rudy Galetti.
The 20-year-old has had an impressive season in Germany, notching 12 goals and two assists across all competitions, and emerging as one of the brightest young talents in the Bundesliga in the process.
The Slovenia international is under contract with the German side until 2028, though his release clause of €50 million makes Leipzig vulnerable to losing their talisman this summer.
It is reported that several top clubs in Europe are keeping tabs on the youngster, including Arsenal. The Gunners are understood to be in the market for attacking reinforcements this summer, with Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah the only currently recognised strikers at the club.
Chelsea are also in the race for Sesko, with the Blues desperate to bring a prolific striker to Stamford Bridge this summer to help solve their scoring woes.
Meanwhile, outside of England, Napoli are reported to hold an interest in Sesko. Napoli forward Victor Osimhen has been strongly linked with a move away from the Italian champions this summer, with Paris Saint-Germain reportedly keen on striking a deal for the Nigeria star. This has left Napoli to consider replacements, with the youthful Sesko potentially representing a long-term replacement for Osimhen.
