Arsenal has been closely monitoring Benjamin Sesko for several seasons, and they came remarkably close to securing his signature in the summer. The Gunners were confident that they had convinced the Slovenian striker to join their ranks and awaited his decision ahead of the Euro 2024 tournament. However, Sesko ultimately chose to remain at RB Leipzig, signing a new contract with the German club before the international competition began.
Since then, Sesko has continued to impress at Leipzig, maintaining his strong form on the pitch. However, there is growing speculation that this season could be his final campaign at the club. RB Leipzig is aware that keeping him was not an easy task, and with his future uncertain, Arsenal could reignite their interest in signing him once the current season concludes.
The situation has become more complicated, as Liverpool has now entered the race for the striker’s signature. According to reports, the Reds are actively seeking a new forward, and it is believed that their pursuit of Alexander Isak, who was initially their primary target, has faltered. Consequently, Liverpool is now poised to compete with Arsenal for Sesko’s services, creating a new layer of competition for the player.
Inews reports that Liverpool’s attacking line could undergo significant changes in the summer, with Darwin Núñez expected to depart, thereby making room for a potential new striker. This could open the door for Sesko to join the Merseyside club, where he would be part of an evolving offensive setup.
Sesko has proven to be an exceptional striker over the past few seasons, and it will be intriguing to see whether Arsenal will return to pursue him or if Liverpool will manage to secure his signature. Both clubs have long admired his abilities, and with his future at Leipzig up in the air, it appears that a move to the Premier League could be on the cards for the highly sought-after forward.

Though Gyokeres is arsenal fans preferred striker i would much prefer Benjamin Sesko because he is much younger and wouldn’t be a problem for him to settle in, just like Isak of Newcastle who most doubted him when he joined epl Sesko wouldn’t have pressure unlike Gyokeres who most would expect to hit the group running because of is goal scoring prowess in Portugal.
Will Liverpool be as attractive a destination next year?
If Salah is gone, VVD close as well, Liverpool’s two titans are gone and they are a very different team.
Both Salah and VVD are two of the best Premier League players in the last decade easily IMO.
With us, a productive, scoring striker walks into the lineup, and has top players surrounding him in all positions.
Which team has the brighter future? I would say Arsenal; young players relatively, and among the best in the PL in their respective positions.
Durand,
Reports are circulating today in the British media that both are soon to sign extensions for probably 2 years.
However, there comes a time when age catches up. De Bruyne and Kyle Walker spring to mind and the Liverpool duo may not have quite the same impact next season.
Gyokores would be a mistake. Lacazette level signing. Sesko has the potential to be far better. Hope we dont mess up what should be an easy transfer to execute if we really want him.
