Arsenal nearing deal for Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.
Mikel Arteta is determined to enhance Arsenal’s attacking options in the upcoming summer transfer window and has identified Benjamin Sesko as a prime target. The RB Leipzig forward has been in excellent form this season, scoring 18 goals and providing two assists across all competitions. Sesko’s preference for a move to Arsenal could facilitate the transfer, giving the Gunners a significant advantage in securing his services.
Arsenal’s Pursuit of Benjamin Sesko
According to reports from The Mirror, Arsenal have emerged as front-runners in the race to sign the Slovenian striker, who has shown a strong interest in joining the Emirates. Sesko’s decision to favor Arsenal over other potential suitors puts the North London club in a favorable position to negotiate a deal.
Sesko’s Career and Performance
Benjamin Sesko joined RB Leipzig last summer after spending four years with Red Bull Salzburg, where he scored 29 goals in 79 appearances. His move to Leipzig has seen him continue to impress, contributing significantly to the team’s success. Leipzig finished fourth in the Bundesliga this season, securing a spot in the Champions League for the next campaign.
Sesko’s release clause was initially reported to be £43 million, but his impressive performances have reportedly increased this figure to around £64 million. At just 20 years old, Sesko is considered a long-term investment for Arsenal, with his age and talent aligning well with the club’s strategy.
Potential Transfer Dynamics
The interest in Sesko has intensified over the past month, with rumors of a potential move to Arsenal growing stronger. Elvis Basanovic, Sesko’s agent, has been spotted at several Arsenal matches, including fixtures against Chelsea and Manchester United last season, further fueling speculation about the transfer.
