Arsenal has initiated specific steps to incorporate Benjamin Sesko, one of the most promising names in European football and the chosen one by Mikel Arteta to lead their attack. The London club is actively working to finalize an agreement with RB Leipzig, convinced that the young striker is the missing piece to complete a formidable attacking trio alongside Bukayo Saka and a top-level left winger, such as Nico Williams.

At just 21 years old, Sesko has made a remarkable impression in the Bundesliga, showcasing a goal-scoring ability that has not gone unnoticed. His 21 goals and 6 assists in 45 matches with Leipzig make him a solid bet for an Arsenal looking to make a definitive leap in Europe and compete effectively in all competitions.

Arsenal Working to Sign Sesko

The Gunners have closely monitored other forwards in this transfer window, but the interest in Sesko has gained significance in recent weeks. Talks between the parties are progressing, with Marcel Schäfer and Andrea Berta playing key roles in the negotiations. The transfer fee, estimated to be around 80 million euros, does not appear to be an insurmountable obstacle for the Londoners, who are willing to make a strong investment in a forward with both present and future potential.

Mikel Arteta has emphasized the need to strengthen the attacking line with a young yet proven profile, and Sesko fits that description perfectly. Although complex, the operation is taking shape, and Arsenal hopes to finalize it before other major European clubs join the bidding. Everything indicates that the Slovenian could be the next big signing to land at the Emirates Stadium.
