Arsenal’s Interest in Benjamin Sesko
Mikel Arteta’s interest in the 6’5″ striker is no surprise. The recently turned 21-year-old Slovenian forward has been on the radar of many top clubs due to his impressive performances in the Bundesliga.
Known for his physicality, pace, and clinical finishing, Sesko has all the attributes to become a top striker in the English top flight. The “prolific” star’s potential signing fits well into Arteta’s vision of blending youth with experience.

The North London club has seen considerable success with young talents like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, and Sesko could be the next big name to join this burgeoning group. His addition would provide a significant boost to Arsenal’s attacking depth, offering a versatile option capable of leading the line or playing alongside Kai Havertz.
Manchester United and Chelsea in the Mix
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Gunners face stiff competition from Manchester United and Chelsea. Both clubs are also in the market for a new striker, and Sesko’s profile matches their needs.
The Red Devils are looking to find a long-term solution to their striking problems, while the Blues are keen on adding a reliable goal scorer to their squad.
Sesko’s decision is further complicated by the lucrative offer on the table from RB Leipzig. The Bundesliga club is eager to keep their prized asset and has proposed a new contract with a significant salary increase and a revised release clause.
This puts the youngster in a dilemma, weighing his current club’s offer against the potential to move to the Premier League.
A Decision Awaits
The latest reports from Romano suggest that the striker is still contemplating his options. Having already turned down two extravagant offers from Saudi Arabian clubs, he appears focused on either staying in Europe or making a high-profile move to England.
His decision is expected to come soon, with all three Premier League clubs – Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea – eagerly awaiting his choice.
