And it seems pretty clear right now, unless Alexander Isak and a Newcastle exit influences the situation, that Arsenal feel most optimistic about Benjamin Sesko. Chelsea are optimistic about Liam Delap but also have Sekso on their list. And Manchester United have looked at both of those players, but could well miss out on each of them."
