Since the Gunners are now concentrating on the summer transfer window, they did not spend any money during the January window. To deal with Bukayo Saka’s injury and replace the injured Gabriel Jesus, the Premier League’s biggest clubs were anticipated to sign a new attacker during the winter transfer window.
When Mikel Arteta most needed new players, the club did not support him, despite his declaration that he wanted to recruit a new attacker. Kai Havertz has spearheaded the Gunners’ assault, but the German has found it difficult to meet Arsenal’s expectations. While he does score goals, his consistency is insufficient to lead them to the Premier League championship.
It has been reported by The Mirror that Arsenal’s top summer transfer target is Benjamin Sesko, a forward for RB Leipzig. For a long time, there have been rumors that the attacker will join the Emirates Stadium. Last summer, Arteta made an attempt to sign him, but he chose to remain in Germany.
Arsenal are favourites to sign top striker
It has been widely reported that he is still expected to depart RB Leipzig this summer, even though he signed a contract extension that would keep him there until 2029. German reporter Philipp Hinze has disclosed that he actually has a legal release clause in his contract, contrary to what was once thought to be a “gentleman’s agreement.”
As for the three elements influencing Sesko’s clause’s cost, Hinze clarified, “Up until now, everyone thought that Benjamin Sesko and RB Leipzig had only a verbal agreement.
Nevertheless, Šeško’s present contract also has a release clause for this summer, per exclusive Sky knowledge. Once more, this exit strategy is performance-based. The clause is currently valued at about €70 million, but if it is extremely successful, the amount might reach €80 million. The main determinants of the overall amount are goals, assists, and playing time. The better Šeško does, the pricier he gets.
