The race to sign Benjamin Sesko has intensified as both Manchester United and Arsenal push to land the highly-rated RB Leipzig forward. The 21-year-old Slovenian striker has emerged as one of Europe's most sought-after talents, with his explosive pace and clinical finishing catching the eye of top clubs.
Why Sesko is in High Demand
Sesko enjoyed a breakout season in the Bundesliga, netting 18 goals across all competitions. His blend of physicality, technical ability, and composure in front of goal has made him a prime target for Premier League giants.
Man Utd's Striker Search
Erik ten Hag is desperate to bolster his attacking options after a lacklustre campaign. Sesko fits the profile of a dynamic forward who could thrive in United's system, offering a long-term solution to their goalscoring woes.
Arsenal's Forward Planning
Mikel Arteta sees Sesko as perfect competition for Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah. The Gunners' recruitment team have tracked the youngster since his Salzburg days and believe he could develop into a world-class talent at the Emirates.
The Transfer Stakes
With Leipzig demanding around £55 million, both clubs face a tough negotiation. Sesko's representatives are reportedly open to a Premier League move, but the final decision may come down to which club can offer Champions League football.
This transfer saga looks set to dominate headlines throughout the summer as two of England's biggest clubs go head-to-head for one of Europe's brightest prospects.
