RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko Attracts Strong Interest from Premier League Clubs Ahead of Summer Move
RB Leipzig’s 21-year-old striker, Benjamin Sesko, is drawing considerable interest from top Premier League clubs as his summer move approaches. Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham are all reportedly keeping a close eye on the young Slovenian’s progress, with a potential release clause in his contract set to trigger a move this summer.
Sesko, who has scored 10 goals in 23 Bundesliga appearances this season, has had an impressive career since joining RB Leipzig. He extended his contract with Leipzig until 2029 after a productive previous campaign where he netted 14 goals.
Despite his importance to Leipzig’s plans, the young forward is expected to leave this summer with a release clause that could see him move for between £49.5 million and £66 million, depending on certain performance metrics.
Arsenal has been particularly interested in Sesko, having followed his progress for some time. The Gunners were previously linked with him in January but his agent ruled out a move at that time due to a gentleman’s agreement with Leipzig. Now, with the summer window approaching, Sesko’s move is becoming more likely, though no formal agreement has yet been reached.
Sesko’s playing style has made him a highly sought-after talent, with his combination of physicality and technical skill making him an ideal fit for top clubs across Europe.
Standing at 6ft 5in, he is not only an imposing presence on the field but also one of the fastest players in the Bundesliga, with a top speed of 35.47 km/h. His unique blend of speed, strength, and technical ability makes him an exciting prospect for any top-tier club looking to bolster their attack.
