Following rumors that the Gunners were interested in signing the striker, Benjamin Sesko’s agent visited Arsenal’s match against Chelsea last week.
Elvis Basanovic, the agent of Benjamin Sesko, shared a photo of himself at the Emirates Stadium during Arsenal’s game against Chelsea last week, where the Gunners crushed their London rivals 5-0.
Unverified rumors on social media claim that the agent spoke with Arsenal during the game, and Sport.fr, a French publication, said on Monday morning that the team is becoming more interested in Sesko.
Sesko is reportedly attracting interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United, according to Sport. It’s also important to note that Basanovic was there for Chelsea’s match against Manchester United on April 4 and United’s encounter against Liverpool on March 17.
Earlier this month, Charles Watts reported in his Daily Briefing that was amore realistic potential signing than Ollie Watkins at Aston Villa, due to the RB Leipzig striker’s release clause.
Sky Sports claim Sesko has a €50m (£43m) release clause in his contract, included in his deal as a compromise last summer, to get his move from RB Salzburg over the line.
Arsenal have been with Sesko since November, when the Mirror reported that Gunners had sent scouts to watch him playing in the Bundesliga ahead of a potential move.
The Athletic then reported that Sesko was among the names on Arsenal’s striker shortlist for 2024.
Sesko has 15 goals and two assists in 39 games (20 starts) this season, averaging a goal or assist every 110 minutes.
That’s an impressive record for a 20-year-old striker in a top-five European league, and the player’s age fits nicely with a recent claim from David Ornstein that Arsenal might be looking for a long-term signing up front in the wake of Kai Havertz’s good form.
