Arsenal have stepped up their interest to sign Benjamin Sesko. The 21 year old currently has market value of €50 million. However, he will surely cost much more than that.
Gunners were heavily linked with Sesko this summer. They tried really hard to sign him but the deal still failed. Instead, the 21 year old signed contract extension with RB Leipzig. His current contract runs until 2029 which suggests that he will cost much more than his current market value.
Sesko has continued to impress with his amazing performances. He has been highly effective for both club and country. The 21 year old already has 10 goals and 3 assists in 22 games for Leipzig this season.
Despite signing the new contract this summer, it seems like Sesko is headed to a big club next year. As of now, many top clubs have shown interest in him. Lastly, Arsenal are still keen to sign him and are working really hard behind scenes.

Sesko seems like a missing piece in Arsenal squad. The Gunners are lacking a spark in the final third. They are over dependent on two or three players for goals which is causing concern. Sesko can change that with immediate impact.
In addition, Sesko is still 21 years old which means he will be long-term investment for Arsenal. Player like him will not come cheap, but his quality on the pitch justifies the price tag. Lastly, Arsenal have already shown recently that they won’t hesitate spending big if the player fits perfectly in their plans.
