RB Leipzig -Spits Benjamin Sesko attracts strong interest from Premier League clubs for a potential summer movement, according to Sky in Germany.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are all credited by continuing to control the high-quality 21-year progress this season.
However, Spurs reportedly has little chance of closing a deal for Sesko when the transfer window is reopened the following season.
Gunners have long-lasting sesko interest
Arsenal has held a long -term interest in Sesko. Sky Sports News reported in January that the club is then considering a move for the Slovenia international.
However, his agent excluded a transfer because of the agreement of a gentleman with Leipzig to stay at least until this summer.
The Gunners also wanted Sesko last summer, only for him to extend his contract with the German club until 2029.
Although they have already been eliminated from the Champions League this season, Leipzig is sixth in the Bundesliga – only three points of the top four.
This season, Sesko scored nine goals in 23 Bundesliga performances after hit 14 in the last campaign, and has so far 17 goals in all competitions this period.
Sesko Release clause set for the summer
A release clause for Sesko can be activated this summer, Sky Sports News understands.
It is clear that it is a variable clause that is linked to performances, goals and helps for RB Leipzig.
The clause starts at around £ 49.5 million (€ 60 million), but can go more than £ 66 million (€ 80 million) if certain conditions are met. It is understood that the clause is currently £ 62 million (€ 75 million).
'Sesko intended for quantity'
Sky Sports' Adam Bate:
Slovenia has previously had top football players. Samir Handanovic and Jan Oblak stand up in me. “But they were both keepers,” Matej Orazem tells Sky Sports. “Goalkeepers can be stars, but it's a completely different thing to have a striker.”
Benjamin Sesko is that striker. The 21-year-old RB Leipzig player is interested in the biggest clubs of the continent since he was in his teenage years. “I think he is intended for quantity,” Orazem adds.
Orazem is the sports director at NK Domzale, the club in Slovenia that brought Sesko to their academy at the age of 15. The earliest memories of him were the whisper about a boy who lived in the neighborhood who had scored 50 goals in one season against many older players.
“We were pretty fast after that. By the time the media speculation started and larger clubs noticed him, we already had an agreement. It was pretty clear to everyone who was going to visit him. He was almost a SLAM Dunk at a very young age.”
Physically, Sesko stands out. He is now 6ft 5 in and was not much shorter at the time. There are stories about him who kick basketball from the hoop. With a top speed of 35.47 kilometers per hour, he is also one of the fastest players in the Bundesliga. A real athlete.
“The physicality was the determining factor. He was great. With some young talents you want them to play with the older boys, but if they are not physically ready, you are a bit on their care. With Beny there was no doubt because of his physical presence.”
Sesko's skills are rare. He wants to instinctively defend deep running at his great speed, but he is also a player who has the physical capacity of a goalkeeper.
“It's not just physicality, it's the technical aspect.” It provides an irresistible combination for the top clubs and helps to explain why Sesko is strongly connected to Arsenal.
