£71m striker stuns Arsenal with shock decision to join Liverpool

Liverpool are in the market for a number 9, and a major chunk of their transfer funds is expected to be directed towards signing a top striker. The Reds are looking to bring in someone young, and a top striker prospect would be keen on a move to Anfield over Arsenal.

Alexander Isak is the striker Liverpool want, but it doesn’t matter what they want, as Newcastle United have shown little inclination to change their stance of not selling him this summer.

Liverpool have been looking at alternative targets, and several young forwards are being assessed as they want to get this one right, given the stakes and potential transfer fees involved.

The Reds are keeping tabs on several young forwards who are on fire in Europe, and one such striker is keen on a move to Anfield in the upcoming transfer window.

A top young forward wants an Anfield move

Arsenal have been chasing Benjamin Sesko since last year, and the club still hold a serious interest in the 21-year-old striker this summer.

However, according to journalist DaveOCKop, Liverpool have jumped to the front of the queue for the attacker ahead of the upcoming transfer window.

The Slovenian is a top target for the Merseyside giants this summer, and they are seriously considering taking him to Anfield this summer.

It has been claimed that Sesko is excited by Liverpool’s interest and would be keen to move to Merseyside in the upcoming window.

The big forward has scored four goals in the Champions League this season and 21 in all competitions in 45 appearances, plus six assists.

RB Leipzig want somewhere around £84m for the striker, but Liverpool are keen to negotiate down the price in the coming weeks.

The Reds would be prepared to pay somewhere around £71m for him this summer.
