‘Excellent choice’: Fabrizio Romano hails £39m forward linked with Arsenal

Arsenal are currently being linked with Benjamin Sesko ahead of the January transfer window.

Calciomercato recently reported that Mikel Arteta’s Gunners are one of the clubs eyeing the RB Leipzig striker.

Meanwhile, 90Min have claimed that intermediaries have now spoken to Arsenal about a potential move for Sesko.

Fabrizio Romano, writing on CaughtOffside, has now shared what he knows amid the speculation linking the Gunners with the 20-year-old.

The transfer insider admitted that he’s not aware of Arsenal looking at Sesko as a potential alternative to Ivan Toney.

However, Romano acknowledged that “many clubs” are currently engaging in “normal scouting activity”.

The Italian also said Sesko would be an “excellent choice” for any of Europe’s big clubs.

“Some Arsenal fans are asking me about reports linking them with an interest in Benjamin Sesko,” wrote Romano.

“But I’m not currently aware of anything concrete happening there.

“He’s being linked with many clubs but as far as I understand it’s nothing advanced at the moment, just normal scouting activity.

“I really like Sesko, he’d be excellent choice for every club around Europe.

“Still, it’s important to respect RB Leipzig as well, because at the moment they don’t want to sell – they don’t want to lose any of their top players in January.

“As I recently reported, this is more likely to be one for summer 2024 or even 2025.

“In terms of strikers for Arsenal, I’ve already spoken about the interest in Ivan Toney, but it’s not an easy deal and Chelsea are also informed on his situation.

“So that remains an open race, but I’m not aware of the Gunners pursuing Sesko as an alternative for now.”

Sesko a Haaland-esque talent who’d suit Arsenal – TBR View

Sesko would be an outstanding acquisition for Arsenal. He is incredibly talented and, at just 20 years of age, can get a whole lot better still.

The Bundesliga website has compared the £39million-rated player to Erling Braut Haaland. Indeed, Sesko has welcomed those comparisons.

“Such comparisons motivate me and give me energy,” Sesko said previously of being likened to Haaland. “They do not represent pressure. I will listen and learn so I can be even better than he is.

“My teammates at the club tell me that Haaland and I are very similar, especially in terms of speed. Most of them even tell me that I’m better than him!”

Admittedly, Romano’s update on Arsenal and Sesko isn’t quite as exciting, but let’s see whether anything develops as we get closer to the January transfer window.
