Manchester United have reportedly entered the race to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, but they face stiff competition from Premier League rivals Arsenal.
The 20-year-old Slovenian forward has been turning heads with his impressive performances in the Bundesliga, attracting interest from top clubs across Europe.
Sesko's Rising Stock
Since joining RB Leipzig from sister club Red Bull Salzburg last summer, Sesko has quickly adapted to German football. His combination of physical presence, technical ability and eye for goal has made him one of the most exciting young strikers in Europe.
United scouts have been closely monitoring his progress as Erik ten Hag looks to strengthen his attacking options. With Anthony Martial's future uncertain and Rasmus Hojlund needing support, Sesko could be the perfect addition to United's frontline.
Arsenal Also in the Mix
The Red Devils aren't alone in their pursuit, however. Mikel Arteta's Arsenal have also been tracking the Slovenian international as they look to add depth to their attacking options. The Gunners' interest dates back to Sesko's time at Salzburg, and they may have an advantage in negotiations.
Both clubs will need to convince RB Leipzig to part with their prized asset, with the German club likely to demand a significant fee for the young striker who still has four years remaining on his contract.
What Sesko Would Bring
Standing at 6'4", Sesko offers a formidable physical presence combined with surprising technical ability for his size. His movement and finishing have drawn comparisons to Erling Haaland, another product of the Red Bull system.
Whoever secures his signature would be getting a player with enormous potential who could develop into one of Europe's elite strikers in the coming years.
The battle for Sesko's signature looks set to be one of the summer's most intriguing transfer sagas, with both Manchester United and Arsenal desperate to land the promising forward.
