According Givemesport, Arsenal manager Mikel ArteThe club's scouting network has recommended the signing of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko to eta.
The Gunners are expected to sign a standout centre-forward during the summer. transfer window and have already been linked with several high-profile names including Victor Osimhen and Viktor Gyokeres. However, Givemesport They claim that Sesko could be a player Arsenal could be interested in this summer.
The young striker has been closely monitored by the London club's scouting team and they have reportedly recommended his signing to the manager. It is considered a profitable acquisition, considering he has an affordable £43m release clause which will be activated at the end of the campaign.
Great potential
The 20-year-old joined the German team from Red Bull Salzburg last summer and had a slow start to his debut season. He was a regular off the bench and has become a key starter in recent months. The Slovenian has so far registered 11 goals and 2 assists; 6 of those goals have come in his last 6 league starts.
Sesko is far from a complete striker at the moment, but he has huge potential and could be a great goalscorer in the future. Arsenal are closely monitoring his development at Leipzig and could be tempted to sign him due to the low release clause in his contract. The final transfer decision could fall on Arteta's shoulders.
Now that Arsenal compete at the top of the first division, the question is whether the Spaniard would want a proven striker or someone with room to develop. Gyokeres or Osimhen would provide immediate results with regular goals, but with Sesko, patience may be required to get the best out of him. In any case, Arsenal will surely sign a new striker with Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah failed to find consistency up front.
