TBR Football reports that Andrea Berta, the sports director of Arsenal, has begun negotiations with Benjamin Sesko, a striker for RB Leipzig. Prior to the 2025–2026 season, the Gunners are determined to increase their attacking alternatives. Arsenal believes that acquiring a deadly attacker could turn their fortunes around after failing to win the Premier League title the previous three seasons.
Mikel Arteta’s club has performed well this season in the Champions League, making it to the semifinals, where they will face Paris Saint-Germain. However, they have had difficulty winning the Premier League. Sesko has rekindled Arsenal’s interest with his outstanding play this season, scoring 20 goals in 41 games.
Arsenal is looking at other options, with Sesko emerging as a prominent contender, even if Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak is still a priority target due to the Magpies’ unwillingness to trade. He chose to remain in the Bundesliga despite interest from the Gunners last summer.
Arsenal given Benjamin Sesko transfer reminder
Sesko, whose deal with the Red Bull Arena expires in June 2029, has made 29 appearances in the Bundesliga so far this season, tallying 12 goals and dishing out five assists. He has been instrumental in the team’s success and has helped RB Leipzig move up to fourth place in the standings.
Numerous elite clubs are reportedly interested in signing the Slovenian due to his outstanding performances. Actually, according to football.london, Sesko was a target for Arsenal last summer, but negotiations never progressed.
Football.london is aware that the north Londoners have kept an eye on the striker’s development after losing out, and they are still eager to sign him. However, Arsenal is not the only team vying for Sesko’s services.
According to football.london, RB Leipzig was unwilling to transfer the Slovenian to Chelsea before the beginning of the season. Every possibility for a possible agreement was considered, but the German team would not part with their lucky charm.
