Arsenal continues its pursuit of Benjamin Sesko, with Fabrizio Romano offering an update on the current status of discussions between the Gunners, RB Leipzig, and the striker’s camp. The Slovenian forward has been a standout performer in recent seasons and is expected to leave the Bundesliga side during this transfer window.
Last summer, Sesko chose to remain at Leipzig despite strong interest from Arsenal. The Gunners have now returned to the table as they seek a long-term solution to their attacking needs. With no striker arriving last summer, the club are determined to strengthen the position ahead of the new campaign.
Talks Progressing but No Agreement Yet
According to Fabrizio Romano via Caught Offside, “Arsenal have been speaking directly to the club and also with the player’s camp, so Arsenal are working on the Benjamin Sesko deal. Still, at the moment while I’m recording this video, there is still no agreement with the player or the club, so there is plenty of work to do before saying Sesko is going to Arsenal. But, the conversation is underway, the conversation is ongoing, and then Arsenal also have more options.”
This confirms the seriousness of Arsenal’s interest in securing Sesko’s services. The club are aware of the importance of adding quality to their forward line and is working diligently to make this happen. As of now, the situation remains fluid with continued engagement between all parties.
Arsenal Prepared to Be Patient
A deal of this scale requires patience from all parties involved. Arsenal understand that securing a talent like Sesko will not be straightforward and is prepared to wait for the right conditions. While the striker remains a top target, the club are also exploring alternative options as part of a broader strategy to strengthen the squad.
Fans may need to wait a little longer, but Arsenal are fully engaged in efforts to add firepower to the team before the new season begins.

No way we should pay £92m for potential. I believe that figure is just the media throwing around anything to get clicks. Guy isn’t worth more than €55m – €60m maximum and that’s only because we are seemingly desperate and he’s got the haircut of a good footballer
I agree with you 100%.
Football went mad long time ago. Why would you want to buy potential for £90 million? It’s absolutely crazy..
But on the other hand prices have been getting inflated since the Chelsea / Abramovich time from 2004. Not forgetting the likes of Madrid and Barcelona that also started spending enormous amounts on superstar players.
So even an average striker like Sesko is being quoted for between £60 to £90 million today. If you are to compare the quality of striker from the 1990’s and early 2000’s to today. The gap in quality is astounding but today’s striker cost treble the amount.
😊
I agree that prices have been inflated since the Abramovich and Chelsea unholy union. But remember that at that time, £92m is a clear world record.
Even in this inflated market, that money gets you proven quality or exceptionally world class potential like Yamal or Mbappe.
I pray he becomes a success even though I have a lot of doubt. Let’s hope it’s not another Kai Havertz situation who despite spending 2 years with us, no one knows his position
Sky are reporting that we are going in with a bid ,70 million pound mark .
Not my preferred choice but Arteta likes a certain type of player ,and he fits the bill ,massive outlay for a young player who’s numbers aren’t that great .
The Kai Havertz’s signing had the words “MANAGER’S EGO ABOVE ALL ELSE” boldly written on it from the very first bid. 2 years down the line, nobody (including the manager) knows his position.
I want this Sesko lad to succeed but I’m having serious doubts and rightly so. Better get Osimhen for that money in my opinion.
I still believe the club knows best. We will see
Yep got to be wonder what happens to our highest earner when sesko and zum come in .
Osimhen would be my choice(probably the same fee ),but we all know that he has abit of attitude which our manager cannot take above his ,he also does not fit our style of play
That number is one journalist’s opinion, there’s no way Arsenal pays that, even in a tight market for top strikers.
We buy Sesko as Arteta seems to be obsessed with him and yes we will pay way to much for him.I hope he will be a success but It is more likely he will not deal with the level of the premier league and be a flop like so many before him.
According to Romano, talks between the two clubs and the player are advancing. So hopefully the deal will be done soon, and our impatient fans can settle down.
92 million for potential is a lot. Sesko you’d better prove us wrong and get 30 goals 😁
Arteta wants Sesko and Berta want Gyocores. If we get Sesko and Gyocores goes to another English club and burns it up. Sesko better burn it up for Arsenal!!!!
