Arsenal have been handed a blow in the pursuit of their top target. The player’s agent was recently spotted in Spain, where one club are showing interest in him.
The star in question here is Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig. The 21 year old has been on Arsenal’s radar since a long time. The North London club wanted to sign him on two different occasions but failed to do so both times.
Earlier, Gunners tried to sign Sesko in summer 2024. But, the striker rejected the offer and instead signed contract extension with RB Leipzig. He extended his stay in Germany until 2029. But, he once again appered on Arsenal’s radar this window.
Sesko was said to be open to move to a bigger club. But, the rumours disappeared very quickly as he was made unavailable by Leipzig in the middle of the season. However, there is a very high chance of Sesko leaving Leipzig this summer.
Gunners are still interested to sign Sesko and he is their one of the priority targets. They are open to spend big to secure his signature. However, they may still miss out on Sesko as he may fancy other clubs over them.
Will Arsenal miss out on Sesko once again?
Toni Juanmarti has reported that one of Sesko’s agent was in Spain yesterday. The 21 year old is also looked upon by Barcelona who are in search of new contract. Hence, his agent must be in Spain to hold talks about Sesko’s move to Barca.
Barca are expected to sign new striker to replace ageing Robert Lewandowski. But, Arsenal still have lead in the race due to the financial situation. Barca may struggle to spend big and first have to part ways with some stars. It will be interesting to moniter Sesko transfer saga this summer.
