Chelsea Aim to Hijack Arsenal’s Benjamin Sesko Transfer Amid Newcastle Interest
Chelsea are hoping to hijack another of Arsenal’s marquee signings by attempting to secure RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko. The 21-year-old Slovenian striker, who has been heavily linked with a move away from the Bundesliga this summer, now has a £55 million price tag.
A move to the Premier League is firmly on the cards for Sesko, with Newcastle and Manchester United both monitoring his situation closely. Arsenal, previously considered front-runners, are facing significant competition from Chelsea, who successfully trumped their London rivals for Mykhaylo Mudryk last season.
According to sources, Chelsea have ‘seriously’ identified Sesko as one of their potential striker targets this summer. Paris Saint-Germain is also weighing up whether the forward could replace Kylian Mbappe, adding further intrigue to the transfer saga.
Chelsea must rely on their long-term vision and project to persuade Sesko to choose Stamford Bridge over the Emirates Stadium and Champions League football. With the Blues recently convincing Tosin Adarabioyo to join their ranks over Newcastle, their strategy of bolstering the squad with promising talent seems effective.
