BREAKING NEWS: Arsenal Announce £59M Deal for Benjamin Sesko

Arsenal Football Club have officially confirmed the signing of Slovenian striker Benjamin Sesko in a deal worth £59 million, with additional performance-based add-ons included. The Gunners moved quickly to secure the highly-rated forward, with manager Mikel Arteta identifying the 21-year-old as a key piece in his attacking plans for the upcoming season.

The deal, announced via Arsenal’s official channels this afternoon, sees Sesko commit to a four-year contract at the Emirates Stadium, with the club holding an option to extend for a further year. This acquisition marks one of the club’s most significant moves in recent years as they continue to strengthen under Arteta’s leadership.

Benjamin Sesko, previously at RB Leipzig, has been on the radar of several top European clubs following his impressive performances in the Bundesliga and on the international stage with Slovenia. Renowned for his pace, physicality, and sharp finishing ability, Sesko is expected to provide a new dimension to Arsenal’s front line.

Speaking shortly after the announcement, Mikel Arteta expressed his excitement at the new arrival: “Benjamin is a player we have monitored for some time. He has all the qualities we look for in a striker — intelligence, strength, and a natural eye for goal. We believe he will fit perfectly into our system and offer us something special in attack.”

In a statement to the club’s media team, Sesko also revealed his enthusiasm about joining the North London club.

The striker spoke of his admiration for Arsenal’s rich history and attacking philosophy, and notably, his interest in wearing a jersey number previously worn by one of the club’s legendary forwards. While no official number has been confirmed, fans have begun speculating about a possible link to Thierry Henry’s iconic number 14 shirt.

“It’s an honour to join such a massive club with a great history,” Sesko said. “I’ve always admired the way Arsenal play and the passion of their supporters. I can’t wait to get started and hopefully wear a number that carries a lot of meaning at this club.”

Sesko is expected to join up with his new teammates for pre-season preparations in July. Arsenal supporters will be eagerly anticipating his first appearance in red and white as the Gunners aim to build on their recent Premier League title push and Champions League campaign.
