Arsenal Sets Sights on Benjamin Sesko as Transfer Deadline Looms
Arsenal Football Club is in advanced talks with RB Leipzig over a potential deal to sign striker Benjamin Sesko.
The Gunners have made signing a striker their top priority this summer, and Sesko’s name has been on their radar for some time.
The 22-year-old Slovenian frontman has impressed with 21 goals and six assists in all competitions for Leipzig last season.
Sesko’s performances have caught the eye of top Premier League clubs, but Arsenal are determined to make him their top target.
Sesko’s transfer fee is estimated to be around £92.5 million, and negotiations are expected to take some time. Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, and sporting director, Andrea Berta, are working hard behind the scenes to secure the deal.
However, Sesko has pulled out of the Slovenia squad to face Luxembourg in a friendly due to injury.
Although he remains with the squad for their upcoming fixture against Bosnia & Herzegovina on the day the summer transfer window closes, Arsenal may have to wait longer to complete the deal if it doesn’t happen before then.
The Gunners have yet to complete a signing this summer, while other top Premier League clubs are already making moves.
With Sesko and Martin Zubimendi being the top targets, Arsenal fans will be eagerly waiting to see if their team can secure the services of these talented players.
