Arsenal appear to have identified Benjamin Sesko as their preferred target to lead the line next season, as the Slovenian striker prepares to leave RB Leipzig. Reports suggest that the Gunners have accelerated efforts to secure his signature ahead of what promises to be a competitive summer transfer window.
Sesko has been on Arsenal’s radar for several months, with interest dating back to last summer. At that time, the forward opted to remain in the Bundesliga for further development. Now, however, he has reportedly decided that the time is right to take the next step in his career, and Arsenal are looking to act swiftly.
Arsenal Prioritising Early Deal for Šeško
Despite awareness that other top clubs are closely monitoring Sesko’s situation, Arsenal seem intent on making him their first major signing of the summer. The club are well aware of the risks of delaying negotiations, especially when multiple elite sides are involved. Past experience in the transfer market should have taught them that hesitation can prove costly.
Arsenal’s technical staff and leadership understand that concluding high-profile deals early in the window allows for better integration during pre-season. As such, swift movement for Sesko would not only meet a key squad need but also provide Mikel Arteta with the time needed to work the striker into his tactical system.
Arteta’s Pull and Transfer Confidence
According to Caught Offside, Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol recently commented on Arsenal’s progress in signing the forward. As quoted, he stated: “We have heard from Mikel Arteta that when Arsenal come calling, players most often say yes. They find it difficult to turn them down. I’m sure he has been very impressed by what Mikel Arteta is doing at Arsenal. Arsenal are pressing ahead with completing a deal. He (Sesko) will become Arsenal’s first signing of the summer. Not the last. Arsenal will sign a striker this summer. I think they will sign a world-class striker, like Victor Gyökeres from Sporting or Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.”
Sesko has attracted attention from several elite European sides, making this a potentially challenging pursuit. To finalise the deal, Arsenal must be prepared to invest both financially and strategically. While his arrival would address a clear weakness in the squad, the club cannot afford complacency. The sooner they take decisive action, the better positioned they will be for success next season.

ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
CALLING ALL ARSENAL FANS! Anyone who would like to contribute an Article or Video opinion piece on JustArsenal, please contact us through this link…
please sign Bradley Barcola too, I just wish I could be heard!!
So where is that update on the Big Slovenian?
I know that it’s Sesko that Arteta will sign. The earlier the better. But what stops Arsenal from signing both Sesko and Gyokeres at the same time. This will us that feel that Arteta can not manage a big squad that is full of quality players wrong. What if the two players come from the same country,it simply means that Arteta as a manager will not be able to manage them.
Called lack of ambition
They don’t need both of them. Just one of them. Arsenal need to spend in other areas too like a goal scoring winger & may be another defender
I believe that Sesko is going to make us a great team in time, but the sooner he gets into training with the first team the faster he will adapt and make a difference.
Why is it that arsenal delay so much to conclude transfer deals because it’s not just now eg zibumendi whom whom they said the deal was sorted as early as winter transfer window???
I have a soft spot for both Benjamin and Victor; they’re both such talented players! It’s been frustrating to see Arsenal struggle with injuries, and I really hope those days are behind us. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for a healthier season ahead!
Maybe a smoke screen for whoever arsenal are really signing 2 has beens and 2 prospects
