Arsenal target Benjamin Sesko isn’t a viable option to AC Milan this summer, with a Premier League move more likely, according to a report.

Matteo Moretto reports in his Daily Briefing that he doesn’t believe Benjamin Sesko is a viable option for AC Milan this summer.

Moretto adds that there are certainly Premier League clubs paying close attention to Sesko, but it’s too early to say which club he might join, and RB Leipzig haven’t given up hope of keeping him around.

The report concludes that Sesko will decide his future before the Euros, whether that’s to sign a new contract with Leipzig or to leave on a permanent deal.

Sesko has been heavily linked with Arsenal in recent weeks, with the latest reports from the English media suggesting he favours a move to north London over the alternatives.

But a deal is far from done, with Arsenal yet to commit to the transfer and open negotiations with Leipzig.

It may not be long now, as Florian Plettenberg reports that all parties involved want a decision before the Euros.

Sesko has been called up by Slovenia, and his €65m (£55.4m) release clause will expire during the tournament, so it makes sense to get the deal done quickly.

Sesko’s release clause expires at the end of June, and Sam Dean of The Telegraph recently reported that Arsenal have a strong interest in him.

Rival suitors for the player reportedly believe Arsenal are in pole position for the signing, with the Gunners prioritising a move to strengthen their squad in forward areas in the upcoming window.

Among those rival suitors are Manchester United and Chelsea.

Sesko scored 18 goals and provided two assists in 42 games (22 starts) this season, averaging a goal or assist every 103 minutes. He ended the season with goals in seven consecutive Bundesliga fixtures.
