RB Leipzig Star Benjamin Sesko Breaks Silence as He Sends a Clear Message to Arsenal Ahead of Potential Transfer

Benjamin Sesko immediately causing a stir at RB Leipzig sends clear message to Arsenal 

Arsenal’s pursuit of RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko may have just taken an intriguing twist. While the North London club continues to weigh their summer options, the young Slovenian forward is quietly making statements that resonate far beyond the Bundesliga, and fans at the Emirates are paying attention. 

The 22-year-old striker arrived at Leipzig to considerable anticipation following his move from Red Bull Salzburg. Within a short span, he began turning heads, not just with goals, but with the kind of raw presence that excites coaches, teammates, and transfer departments alike.  

One of the first to speak publicly about Sesko’s impact was Germany international Ridle Baku, who couldn’t hide his admiration. After just a single training session together, Baku declared himself genuinely impressed, calling Sesko a talent with all the tools to become a world-class striker. 

It’s not difficult to see why. Towering at 6’5″, Sesko carries a physical presence that immediately sets him apart. But his game is far more than just strength and height. Despite his size, he moves with surprising agility and pace, attributes that have sparked comparisons to Erling Haaland. He isn’t just overpowering defenders, he’s outpacing them, too. 

The Gunners, under Mikel Arteta’s direction, have made it a habit of nurturing raw potential into polished brilliance.  

From Bukayo Saka’s evolution into one of Europe’s finest wingers to William Saliba’s development into a defensive rock, Arsenal have shown they can provide the right environment for young players to thrive. That alone makes the idea of Sesko in red and white all the more tantalising. 

Yussuf Poulsen, a long-time figure at Leipzig, added even more fuel to the speculation when he described Sesko as the best attacking partner he’s ever played with.  

According to the Danish forward, the young striker possesses all the qualities needed to become a top-tier number nine, from finishing power and shooting technique to positional intelligence and maturity beyond his years. 

What makes Sesko particularly appealing to Arsenal isn’t just his highlight reel or physical traits, it’s his mentality. Those who work with him speak of a driven, focused athlete who is hungry to learn and grow. He may not yet be the finished article, but the signs are clear that he’s on the right path. 

Yet, as with many modern transfer sagas, the excitement comes with complications. Reports suggest that Sesko’s wage expectations could pose a stumbling block, and Leipzig’s valuation, which could rise as high as £85 million, may test Arsenal’s resolve. Still, this hasn’t dampened the sense of possibility surrounding the move. 

What adds another layer of intrigue is Arsenal’s transfer history with Bundesliga talent. It’s been years since the club signed a player directly from Germany’s top flight, but that dry spell could soon come to an end, especially if Edu and Arteta see in Sesko what many others already have. 

This isn’t just another rumour. It’s the kind of potential move that hints at something bigger: a young, high-ceiling striker ready to make his mark at the highest level, joining a club known for turning promise into power. 

Sesko’s performances for Leipzig, including goals against heavyweights like Bayern Munich and a consistent scoring streak through the winter, suggest that he isn’t intimidated by big stages. 

With Arteta continuing to build a team for both the present and the future, the question now is whether Benjamin Sesko is about to become the next piece in Arsenal’s ambitious puzzle. His message on the pitch is clear. Now, it’s up to the Gunners to respond.
