Arsenal have contacted RB Leipzig to discuss the possibility of a move for striker Benjamin Sesko this summer. The London club are carefully considering the terms of a potential deal, while also evaluating other options for the attacking winger, such as Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres.
No official offer has been made yet, but the interest in Sesko is long-term. Previously, a "ladies' agreement" prevented his departure until this summer, but after Leipzig's failure to qualify for the Champions League, the situation has changed. Now the German club is ready to let him leave, keeping his contract active until 2029.
Benjamin Sesko scored 21 goals and provided six assists in all competitions last season, including four goals in the UEFA Champions League. Standing at 1.96m tall and with a top speed of 35.5km/h, he stands out as one of the fastest and most physically strong players in the Bundesliga. His ability to initiate plays from deep and also play as a target man in the box makes him a complete striker.
Arsenal see Sesko as a key addition to modernise their attacking line-up and bring more variety and danger to the team. The club want a striker who can create space, play with his back to goal and take advantage of defenders with his physical strength.
In addition to Sesko, Arsenal's leaders are also monitoring other names, in search of the strongest formation for next season. With a clear strategy to strengthen the attack, the Gunners aim to restore the competition for Premier League titles and deep participation in European Cups.
