Charles Watts, an Arsenal expert, believes the Gunners are keen on signing Benjamin Sesko as a striker and may make another attempt to secure him. According to Watts from Fox Sports, Arsenal remains interested in the Slovenian forward, whom they sought to acquire from RB Leipzig during the summer, though he opted to remain with his current team. Despite this decision, the pre-existing rapport between the clubs has not been affected.
Watts emphasizes that signing a player involves more than just making an offer; clubs engage in extensive behind-the-scenes work to gather insights about a player, involving numerous discussions before formal negotiations begin.
Arsenal has reportedly done considerable groundwork regarding Sesko, showing a strong interest that seemingly eclipsed inquiries into other potential targets.
There are expectations that Arsenal will pursue a new striker, with speculation that they haven’t entirely abandoned the idea of signing Sesko. Watts suggests the Gunners might revisit this possibility next summer, as his choice to stay at RB Leipzig hasnāt damaged any relationships.
Recently, Arsenal monitored Sesko during a Champions League match, and they were also scouting Dusan Vlahovic, although Mikel Arteta might no longer be interested in him. Instead, Arsenal could intensify their efforts for the 21-year-old Sesko next summer.
Arsenal is exploring various other options as well. While Sesko remains on their radar, players like Jonathan David, who will soon be a free agent, and Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt are also being considered. Marmoush, in particular, has impressed in the Bundesliga, drawing Arsenal’s attention in recent matches. Thus, while the link to Sesko is notable, the Gunners are broadening their search for potential signings ahead of the next transfer window.
