"We Will Never Force or Blackmail Leipzig" - Benjamin Sesko's Agent Addresses His Future Amid Transfer Links to Arsenal

GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUN 17 – Arsenal targets 22-year-old Benjamin Sesko to address last season's scoring struggles, with RB Leipzig demanding up to £85.5 million, as negotiations continue ahead of the new campaign.

  • Benjamin Sesko, a 22-year-old RB Leipzig striker, is linked with a potential transfer to Arsenal during the current summer window.
  • The transfer talks follow Arsenal's ongoing search for a new striker and RB Leipzig's readiness to sell after missing Champions League qualification, while no formal offer has been made yet.
  • Sesko scored 21 goals and provided six assists across 45 appearances last season, and his agent, Elvis Basanovic, stated they will not force a move or blackmail Leipzig, aiming for a unique club or project.
  • RB Leipzig values Sesko between €68.4m and €85.5m, with Arsenal reportedly prepared to meet this expectation though personal terms remain unsettled and talks are ongoing.
  • The situation implies Arsenal's careful approach to signing Sesko, maintaining contact with Leipzig and the player’s camp while exploring other striker targets such as Viktor Gyokeres amid transfer complexities.
