The competition has been fierce this summer as the Premier League giants have set their sights on hot striker players. The Slovenian shot-stopper Schissel, who plays for RB Leipzig, has become a star attraction. According to the Daily Mirror, Arsenal and Manchester United have both thrown an olive branch to him. Schissel has reached an agreement with Arsenal for a transfer fee of 56 million pounds.

At just 21 years old, Szczeco has already delivered 19 assists and 3 goals this season. At Arsenal, he is expected to make a big impact. He is said to be eager to play alongside his teammates Xaviers and Gabby Jetsis. In fact, rumors of his transfer have been circulating for more than two months. His agent was also previously spotted at an Arsenal game. Speaking about his future destination, Szczko said at the end of the season: "Of course I am inclined to join the Premier League, especially Italian clubs, but I have to make a wise choice. At the moment, I need to prioritize my family and the game, and the future is very unpredictable. Of course, joining the Premier League will undoubtedly be a valuable experience."

Schisgall's contract includes a £56million release clause. Arsenal want to fight for the Slovenian international from RB Leipzig for a lower price. However, Arsenal need to act quickly as Szeszko will be playing with the Slovenian national team in the summer's UEFA European national tournament and will be in Group B with England. If Slovenia performs well in the European Nations, it will undoubtedly attract more attention from the top flight.
