Bundesliga side RB Leipzig reportedly aren’t interested in letting Benjamin Sesko leave on the cheap amid interest from Chelsea and other Premier League clubs.

The 21 year old striker has a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ with RB Leipzig which allows him to leave the German club for £60million.

However, according to The Sun, RB Leipzig are having second thoughts and are now demanding a fee of £86m, which would be a club record sale.

Sesko is one of the highest-rated young stikers in Europe, scoring 19 goals and providing six assists in his 40 games across all competitions.

Chelsea will face competition from several Premier League rivals to sign Sesko, with Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool all said to be interested.
