The top two London clubs, Arsenal and Chelsea, still target the RB Leipzig striker, Benjamin Sesko, but there is a new fact added to the plot regarding his future. The 20-year-old has not only equalled his impressive season record from his time in Austria, he has done even better, with 11 goals up to date.
Both London clubs are deficient in the natural goal scorer, but still, the two teams are adapting greatly. Last summer Chelsea signed Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku but unfortunately, the former hasn’t got much opportunity and the latter has been struggling with injury for a significant part of the campaign. The journey of Jackson, who had rough times to start in West London, has witnessed a steep upcurve with four goals in those last six matches played in all competitions.
Nonetheless, both Arsenal and Chelsea are hoping to add another striker during the summer transfer window, with Sesko a target for their fans and supporters. Other strikers like Victor Osimhen of Napoli and Ivan Toney of Brentford who are also hot transfer prospects are expected to trigger high bids. This could see Sesko, who has been compared to Erling Haaland, becoming the target and the most attractive option especially now that rumours have come out that suitors are willing to meet the release clause in his contract.

What is the current situation about the transfer buzz at Chelsea?
According to reports, Leipzig is receiving a £43 million offer, this means the team would be unable to prevent interested parties from making a move since it is at the lowest price, being the value of his buyout clause. It has become especially clear recently that Chelsea are striving to strengthen their striking department. Olivier Giroud’s likely departure, along with the questions about Tammy Abraham’s future puts a need for a top-quality goal scorer high on Chelsea’s agenda.
Chelsea’s sporting director, Marina Granovskaia, has already found Sesko on the club’s radar and considers him a long-term investment, which is in line with the club’s policy and recruitment strategy. Blues have a reputation as being aggressive in the transfer market; Sesko’s rising through the ranks as the top prospect has even fuelled their interest.
The proven experience of Chelsea in breeding and bringing young talents to the first team promises Sesko a good start and a productive career at Stamford Bridge. In connection with these developments, Chelsea’s intention toward Sesko gradually takes shape, with the club preparing itself to make a sizeable transfer move within the next window. With negotiations ongoing, and release clause dates drawing close, everyone will certainly be in wait for Stamford Bridge to find out whether Chelsea will be able to seal the deal for a highly-rated striker who could lead Chelsea’s attack for a long time to come.
