Benjamin Sesko, RB Leipzig’s talented forward, is currently taking extra time to finalize his plans, amidst significant interest from Premier League heavyweights Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea as the summer transfer window approaches. The 21-year-old Slovenian striker has caught the eye of top European clubs following an impressive streak of performances, especially towards the end of this season.
Sesko’s remarkable ability to find the net has been evident; he scored in each of Leipzig’s last seven Bundesliga matches, bringing his season total to 18 goals across all competitions. His consistent scoring prowess, combined with his youth, suggests he has a bright future ahead.
Despite having a contract with the German club until 2028, the speculation around a potential move this summer is rampant. Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that Sesko is contemplating his options, having even received an offer to extend his stay at Leipzig. Interestingly, he has also rejected a proposal from a club in Saudi Arabia.
Since early this year, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea have reportedly been in touch with Sesko’s representatives, with one of these clubs likely to secure his signature.
The question of whether Sesko will choose the Premier League for his next chapter remains open. With all three clubs in need of a strong forward for the 2024/25 season, Sesko would not only be a strategic signing but also a boost for any of these squads in both the short and long term.
Among his possible destinations, Arsenal appears to be a particularly attractive option. The club’s current trajectory under Mikel Arteta suggests a promising environment for young talents to thrive. In contrast, both Manchester United and Chelsea present more complicated scenarios. United’s attack is already bolstered by the likes of Rasmus Hojlund, which could limit Sesko’s playing time. Meanwhile, Chelsea, despite having a clearer path to the first team, poses its own set of challenges given the club’s recent instabilities.
As the days unfold, the football world eagerly awaits Sesko’s decision, which will undoubtedly have significant implications for both his future and the attacking lineup of the club he chooses to join.
