RB Leipzig -Spits Benjamin Sesko can go to the Premier League this summer with Arsenal and Chelsea under his admirers
Arsenal and Chelsea Target Benjamin Sesko claim that he wants to play for a club that can get the “best” out of him if he weighs a summer transfer. The 21-year-old Slovenian is the subject of strong interest of the Premier League and is now waiting to see what offers will come true in the coming weeks for his services.
Leipzig has passed a disastrous season, ending seventh in the last rankings of Bundesliga and therefore not qualifying for European competition.
It means that the German club is now huge changes, both in their team and strategy, to protect their financial data and star players Sesko and Xavi Simons are tipped heavily to lead an exodus.
Leipzig is now in Brazil, where they will play an end of the season against Santos, and Sesko has now tackled his future during an interview with the German Omroepsport1 in South America.
He said, “The club has given me a lot and keeps giving me a lot every day. It is a great club to develop.” Sesko added that in the future he “wants to play for a club that suits me, that brings out the best in me. That's the most important thing for me.”
The Slovenia International continued: “I am currently a player for RB Leipzig, so I take it day after day. If a transfer happens, and if that is not the case, then that is not.”
Internally, Arsenal has discussed whether he should move forward with a deal for long-standing target Sesko or sporty CP-Scherpschutter Viktor Gyokeres. The 21-year-old scored 21 goals and registered six assists in all competitions, while Gyokees won the double in Portugal and rattled 54 goals in 52 performances.
The Sesko release clause is supposed to be more than £ 66 million (€ 80 million), while Gyokeres has a men's agreement with Sporting with which he could leave for a figure in the region of £ 55 million to £ 60 million.
Arsenal is considered leaders for the Swede if they want to follow their interest, but they are also confronted with competition for Sesko with Chelsea also likes the player.
The blues have made the signing of a new striker a transfer priority after the side of Enzo Maresca has secured the qualification of Champions League. But Chelsea has also had positive conversations with Liam Delap, available for £ 30 million, while Eintracht Frankfurt Frontman Hugo Ekitike is also strongly assessed in the club.
Arsenal completed a remarkable basic work on a deal for Sesko last summer, but instead the young attacker committed his future to Leipzig and signed a new long -term agreement prior to the European Championships in Germany.
