Arsenal striker target excites fans after dropping huge transfer hint

Arsenal fans may have just received the clearest signal yet that Benjamin Sesko is warming up to a move to North London.

The RB Leipzig star has followed the Gunners on Instagram, fueling speculation that he may be inching closer to a summer switch.

The Gunners have made Benjamin Sesko their top striker target after his prolific season, which saw him net 21 goals across all competitions for RB Leipzig.

Despite interest from other elite European clubs and a lucrative offer from Saudi giants Al-Hilal, Sesko reportedly wants to join the Gunners.

Arsenal had bids rejected for the Slovenian in January, but interest hasn’t cooled. His decision to follow the club on Instagram, while not definitive, has excited fans who see it as a subtle nod of interest.

It also comes amid reports that the 22-year-old is asking for a bigger wage packet than originally anticipated. Arsenal, are still monitoring the situation closely, confident in their appeal as a “special project” under Mikel Arteta.

Sesko’s agent, Elvis Basanovic, has stated they will not force a move from Leipzig, noting he and his clients’ respect and professionalism in all negotiations.

He insists they are waiting for the “right club, right project, and right coach,” which Arsenal believe they embody.

While Arsenal have lined up Viktor Gyokeres as a backup option, there are concerns over whether the Sporting Lisbon striker, who scored an astonishing 53 goals last season, can adapt to Premier League intensity.

Sesko, on the other hand, fits Arsenal’s long-term strategy and age profile perfectly. With negotiations ongoing and the Gunners prepared to act decisively, the next few weeks could prove pivotal in securing their marquee summer signing.
