Benjamin Sesko To Arsenal: Gunners remain without a new striker as the final transfer window period draws to a close.
The injuries suffered by attacking talent Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus created an immediate need for new players on the attack during this transfer window.
Very public statements by Mikel Arteta advocating a front-line strengthening have failed to generate any new signings throughout the transfer window. A potential source of good news about signings emerges during the closing moments of this transfer window.
The Arsenal front office considers Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig to be their top-choice attacking recruit. The Slovenian forward has been Arsenal’s top target since Arteta made his first attempt to acquire him last summer.
Sesko stayed with Leipzig despite signing a new contract while enthusiasts persist with their talks about his future prospects. Sources from GiveMeSport suggest Arsenal have developed improved optimism because Sesko appears willing to play for the Gunners.
Despite an upbeat mood at Arsenal a major challenge still exists. The forward who received positive reviews for both his potential and powerful vision is known to demonstrate a deep commitment to Leipzig.
Benjamin Sesko Has Contract With Leipzig Till 2029
Negotiations may become more difficult since the forward avoids seeking transfers on his own. Leipzig’s stance against transferring Sesko during the season grows stronger because his contract extends through 2029 which puts them in a good position during negotiation talks.
Multiple news sources indicate that Arsenal plans to step up their push to entice Sesko while trying to win over his current club from Germany. The German club will only consider a change of position if Arsenal make an offer above £60 million to pry away their forward player.
Arsenal would receive a major advantage from signing Sesko because several premier European clubs currently track the striker.
The Gunners must decide if they want to finalize the deal within this window while waiting to see if Sesko demands a transfer at the same time that Leipzig agrees to their proposed offer.
All attention will turn toward Arsenal’s upcoming striker acquisition decisions to strengthen their offensive line as the transfer window draws to an end.
