Arsenal have been handed a transfer blow with Bayern Munich now also interested in RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko, who has been identified as a potential successor to Harry KaneBayern Munich are reportedly eyeing up Arsenal target Benjamin Sesko, viewing the striker as a potential successor to Harry Kane. Since his move from Red Bull Salzburg to RB Leipzig in 2023, Sesko has been in fine form, netting 39 goals in 87 appearances across all competitions.The Gunners have shown interest in the 22 year old for some time, having tried to secure his signature last summer before he renewed his contract with Leipzig, and initial discussions about a summer move have already taken place.However, Bayern could throw a spanner in the works, with Bild reporting that the Bundesliga champions also have their sights set on Sesko. The report suggests that Bayern also attempted to sign Sesko last summer and a move this summer is ‘not completely off the table’.This news follows reports that Bayern are also keen on another Arsenal target. Mikel Arteta, the Gunners boss, is a big fan of Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams, but Sky Germany reports that the winger is open to a move to Bayern.Leroy Sane recently made a free transfer to Galatasaray, with his Bayern contract expiring at the end of the summer, and it’s suggested that Williams could fill his boots at the Allianz Arena.
The report suggests that the potential transfer of Nico Williams is still in its infancy, with the Athletic Bilbao star’s release clause set at a hefty €60m (£51m). Bilbao’s president Jon Uriarte has recently spoken about Williams’ future, hinting at his desire for the forward to stay as part of their ambitious project.
