According to Florian Plettenberg, Arsenal are in advanced talks to sign the Bundesliga prospect, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition. He scored 21 goals last season, and he could transform Arsenal in the attack. He will be leading the line for them if the transfer goes through.
🚨🆕 More on Benjamin #Sesko, who’s keen on joining #Arsenal with advanced talks ongoing over personal terms!
Arsenal cannot simply trigger the €80m release clause – it’s a complicated structure, and the clause has also increased. That’s why the fee is being negotiated freely.…

Arsenal have missed a quality striker in recent seasons, and the lack of a reliable finisher has cost them the league title in the last few seasons. The Slovenian could make a huge impact for them, especially if he manages to adapt to English football quickly. He has the attributes to develop into a top-class player, and Arsenal could play a key role in his development. They have done well to nurture talented young players over the years, and they could help him fulfil his world-class potential.
The player is likely to cost around €80-100 million, and it would be an expensive acquisition for Arsenal. It remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done. They need to improve multiple areas of their squad, and spending that kind of money on one player could prove to be difficult.
However, there is no doubt that the 22-year-old has the ability to develop into a world-class player, and he could end up justifying the investment in future.
The player has shown his ability in Germany, and he will look to take the next step in his development. Moving to the Premier League will be quite exciting for him. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can finalise an agreement.
Arsenal have been linked with multiple strikers this summer, and it will be interesting to see who they end up with.
They need to improve the squad there summary if they want to win the league title next season. Liverpool and Manchester City are likely to improve their teams as well.
Arsenal were pushing for the league title last season, and they made it to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League as well. Any young player will be attracted to the idea of joining them this summer.
