BREAKING NEWS: Live from Emirates, Arsenal finally agrees to a £50 million agreement to sign Bundesliga star striker as a replacement for Gabriel Jesus. According to sources, Arsenal has been connected with the Bundesliga star for months, and the most recent claims indicate that they have finally reached an agreement to sign him this summer.

Benjamin Sesko appears to be favoring a move to Arsenal this summer. The RB Leipzig striker has garnered interest from several high-profile clubs, including Chelsea and Manchester United, as well as multiple teams in Italy. Despite the competition, Arsenal has emerged as the frontrunner for the £45 million-rated forward.

The Slovenian international is reportedly keen on joining the Gunners, marking a significant boost for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who aims to secure a young striker to partner with Kai Havertz following his impressive season.

Sesko’s agent, Elvis Basanovic, has been seen attending Arsenal matches this season, further signaling the player’s interest in the club.

Sesko, who is set to turn 21 on Friday, is considered a perfect fit for Arsenal’s squad. Although he has only been with RB Leipzig for a year, the club is open to selling him if a suitable offer comes through.

Sesko joined the Red Bull network in 2019 when he signed with Red Bull Salzburg. Known for his strong goal-scoring record and towering height of 6ft 5in, Sesko stands out as a significant talent.

He is also part of Slovenia’s squad for the upcoming Euros, where they will face England in the group stages in Germany this summer.

Arsenal has been monitoring Sesko closely throughout the season, although he is not their only target. The Gunners have also expressed interest in Ajax’s Brian Brobbey and Brighton’s Evan Ferguson. Conversely, they have ruled out Brentford’s Ivan Toney and Newcastle’s Alexander Isak as potential signings.

Arsenal’s strategy for the summer transfer window includes seeking a promising No. 9 and a winger, rather than pursuing a major superstar. Additionally, they might consider adding a midfielder if Thomas Partey leaves the club.

While Arsenal will have funds available for new signings, they also anticipate some departures.

Potential exits could include Aaron Ramsdale, Eddie Nketiah, Reiss Nelson, and Emile Smith Rowe. Moreover, Bayern Munich is reportedly monitoring Oleksandr Zinchenko.

This approach highlights Arsenal’s focus on building a balanced and youthful squad capable of achieving sustainable success in the coming seasons.

By targeting young talents like Sesko, Arsenal aims to create a cohesive team that can develop together and compete at the highest levels in the future.
