Arsenal target ‘favours move to Premier League’ amid interest from Europe – latest transfer news | OneFootball

Reports claim that Arsenal target Benjamin Sesko may favour a move to the Gunners over any other team.

The RB Leipzig striker wants a move to the Premier League, and according to Bild, as Manchester United are unlikely to play in the Champions League next season, that automatically puts Arsenal at the top of his list of desired clubs.

Sesko has ten league goals this season, and 35 in 78 games since he joined the German side. At 21-years-old, he fits Mikel Arteta’s young team nicely, and is thought to have a release clause of €70 million.

In other news, Chelsea are looking to sign Jules Kounde, according to AS. The Frenchman’s contract with Barcelona expires next summer and he is yet to agree a new deal.

The Blues would look to employ him primarily as a centre-back, and they have been known to be interested in the 26-year-old for a number of years, dating back to when Thomas Tuchel was still in charge.

AS are also reporting that Manchester United, Arsenal, Paris St-Germain, Bayer Leverkusen, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are all interested in Espanyol keeper Joan Garcia.

The Athletic add that the Gunners want Garcia to serve as back-up to David Raya, with current back-up Neto set to return to Bournemouth at the end of the season.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is set to go shopping at his old club Sporting CP this summer in pursuit of former Barcelona winger Francisco Trincão, 25, according to TalkSPORT.

RB Leipzig are keen on Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham, who has also been linked with Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal, but believe his asking price is too high at present, according to Sky Germany.

Bayern Munich are said to be preparing to make a bid for £60m-rated Brighton and Netherlands goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen according to the Telegraph.

They say he has been identified as a long-term replacement to Manuel Neuer having impressed for the Seagulls this season.
