This summer, those looking for Arsenal’s top striker reportedly say Benjamin Sesco has changed his mind and now he wants to join the gunner.
The Premier League giants want to sign Newcastle United’s Alexander Isaac, but his massive price tag may leave him out of reach.
Magpies are ready to do whatever it takes to hold on to the star player, and if they qualify for the Champions League, it will be virtually impossible to sign him.
Gunners are now focusing on other targets, and one of the players they’ve long admired would like to join next season.
According to Givemesport, RB Leipzig attacker Sesko hopes to join Arsenal after the German club is currently struggling to qualify for next season in the Champions League.
The 21-year-old RB Leipzig striker was expected to remain in Germany for another season to continue developing, but he is now open to the move and sees Arsenal as an exciting opportunity.
The Slovenian attacker has scored 19 goals this season and provided six assists in 39 appearances in the Bundesliga outfit.
Arsenal has long-term interest in Benjamin Sesco
Arsenal was watching him for a while and ready to wait if necessary, but this could accelerate a potential relocation as his stance changes.
That said, it’s not the only one in the race. Clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United and Real Madrid are keeping an eye on him, but Arsenal’s current project and Premier League position may give them an edge.
If Arsenal can do that, this could be a big win for Arsenal. Sesko has all the raw attributes needed by a modern striker, he is tall, quick, composed, and has his eyes on the goal.
If Arsenal is serious about staying in the title conversation for a long time, this is exactly the kind of sensible investment they should make.
The report says players could be paid for the £60 million region, but this should not be a problem for gunners.
Leipzig technical director Christopher Bibel praised Sesco for calling him a “real scorer.”
As far as the mid-range targets are concerned, the gunners are keeping an eye on Boubakar Kamara from Aston Villa.
