Man United and Arsenal get huge transfer boost on £60m RB Leipzig forward transfer this summer
The Gunners are actively looking to sign a new striker in the summer transfer window as they failed to end Manchester City’s dominance in the Premier League.
Mikel Arteta had to deploy Kai Havertz as a false nine in the final few months of the season, showing that a need for a new striker is evident at the Emirates Stadium.
Meanwhile, Chelsea and Man United failed to qualify for the Champions League, despite the Red Devils salvaging their season in the end by winning the FA Cup.
RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko is attracting interest from the biggest Premier League clubs ahead of the transfer window.
Twelve months ago, the young player moved from RB Salzburg to Leipzig in the Bundesliga, where he scored 18 goals in his debut season.
Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg has provided an update on the future of the young attacker.
Plettenberg said, according to Sky Sports:
“There is a very good chance you will see him playing and scoring in the Premier League next season – we can’t see him playing in the Bundesliga.
“There are concrete enquiries and offers for him. We can confirm Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal have all enquired and started first talks.
“We have been told there is no final decision from the player and his camp at this stage of negotiations.
“There is a release clause the teams have to activate with a €65m transfer fee by the end of June. The player is considering the best option.
“RB Leipzig is doing everything to convince him to stay… Sesko is totally focused on the Euros. We think there will be a decision in the next two or three weeks or after the Euros.”
The elite of Europe have taken notice of his remarkable goal return, but he has a lengthy deal with Leipzig that expires in the summer of 2028.
All the clubs will be fighting to complete the signing of the striker as their is a need for a new striker at Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United.
Arsenal have been strongly linked with a move for Sesko
Sesko is a young attacker who is highly regarded in the game for his finishing and agility.
The Gunners can offer the chance of challenging for the Premier League title and the fact that they qualified for the Champions League can help them lure the in-demand striker.
The striker has a high ceiling and at the age of 20, he still has a lot to learn but the future looks promising for the Slovenian attacker
