Arsenal are currently weighing up a headline-grabbing move for RB Leipzig star striker Benjamin Šeško, reportedly preparing a £70 million offer for the rising Slovenian international.
At just 22 years old, Šeško has already made a significant impression in Germany, finding the back of the net 39 times in 87 appearances since his switch from Red Bull Salzburg two years ago. His ability to lead the line with physicality, skill, and clinical finishing is attracting attention north of the Channel.
Standing at 6’4″, Šeško shares a similar imposing stature to Norwegian phenom Erling Haaland and boasts comparable pace and size, enabling him to both hold up play and pose an aerial threat. These Haaland-esque qualities make him a tantalising prospect for any team in search of a prolific centre-forward.
According to German sources, Arsenal have already initiated conversations with RB Leipzig regarding transfer finances and structure, indicating serious intent behind the speculation. The Gunners are exploring multiple avenues to strengthen their attack this summer, with Šeško and Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyökeres listed among their prime targets.
Arsenal’s potential investment of £70 million would underline their commitment to securing a long-term solution upfront, supporting Mikel Arteta’s vision of evolving Arsenal into Premier League and Champions League contenders. Should negotiations progress, the summer transfer window may yield one of the most talked-about striker signings of the year.
Benjamin Šeško represents a blend of physical attributes, goalscoring instinct, and youthful promise that fits Arsenal’s blueprint for the future. Whether he can truly follow in the footsteps of Haaland remains to be seen — but the Gunners are clearly prepared to find out.
