Amorim is desperate for another striker (Picture: Alex Livesey/Getty Images) Manchester United remain interested in signing Arsenal’s top target Bejamin Sesko – and hope they might have a secret weapon in their ambitious bid to land the striker. Sesko, 21, is one of Europe’s most sought-after young stars and is expected to leave RB Leipzig this summer with a host of clubs keen on his services. He has emerged as Arsenal’s leading target to lead Mikel Arteta’s attack next season. The Gunners have also explored a move for Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres but Sesko is thought to be the manager’s preferred choice with the club holding ‘concrete talks’ this week. Arsenal expressed interest in the Slovenia international last summer and again in January but RB Leipzig are now ready to do business, set to hold out for a huge £85million fee. While Arsenal are leading the race for his signature, Bild report United’s interest remains. This week, Ruben Amorim’s side missed out on their top striker target Liam Delap, with the England Under-21 international opting for a move to Chelsea. Sesko is Arsenal’s leading target (Picture: Getty Images) United’s failure to qualify for the Champions League next season cost them in their bid to sign Delap and will surely have major ramifications across the transfer window this summer. Sesko is another target who will likely prefer a club sitting at Europe’s top table next season. However, United might hope the striker’s pre-existing relationship with their director of recruitment Chistopher Vivell could play a role. Chelsea will sign Delap in a £30m deal (Picture: Getty Images) Vivell was given a full-time role at United in February following an interim role last summer. The German leads United’s global recruitment operating and scouting of the game’s top young talent. Vivell was one of the key figures in unearthing Sesko when he was a 16-year-old still playing in Slovenia, bringing him to Red Bull Salzburg in 2019. The striker joined Leipzig in 2023 where his reputation has continued to grow. Vivell was in attendance to watch Sesko in action as Leipzig beat Wolfsburg in April, keeping a close eye on the player. Arsenal will still consider themselves strong favourites however after a third successive second place finish in the Premier League, also reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League.
