Arsenal have now been linked with a move for Benjamin Sesko.
According to Italian publication Calciomercato, Arsenal are keen to secure the services of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko in the upcoming January transfer window.
Sesko would certainly be an exciting arrival at the Emirates Stadium. Mikel Arteta is clearly on the hunt for a new goalscorer, as the Gunners’ current striker options have all drawn criticism. Sesko is hugely talented and would bring a whole new dynamic to the north London club’s attacking play.
The 6’4” 20-year-old only joined RB Leipzig in the recent summer transfer window, and has made a solid start to life in the Bundesliga. He has already bagged six goals for his new club in all competitions.
Given his youth, natural finishing ability, and physical profile, it is hard not to get excited about the prospect of Sesko testing himself in the Premier League.
Plenty of Arsenal fans are keen to see the Slovenian striker ply his trade for the club.
Arsenal fans desperate to see Benjamin Sesko in red
Taking to Twitter to discuss his rumoured arrival, one Arsenal fan said, “get it done please.” Another supporter stated that seeing Sesko join the Gunners would be “the dream.”
One fan believes Sesko “could be a brilliant signing” for the club.
Sesko could require some time to adjust to the demands of Premier League football, and given his age it would be unrealistic to expect him to shine week in, week out. As an alternative option to Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah, though, there is a lot to like about the 24-cap Slovenia international.
Whether the Gunners are serious about signing Sesko, and willing to push for his signature in January, remains to be seen. There may be a desire to bring a more proven and experienced forward to the club instead, as Arsenal will be aiming to mount a successful title challenge this season.
