Chelsea are keen to sign a new striker this summer. They are showing interest in young striker with 27 goal contributions this season. There are multiple other clubs in the race including Arsenal. But, the Gunners have handed the Blues a potential boost ahead of summer window.
Chelsea are surely going to sign a new striker this summer. Nicolas Jackson had a good start to this season but has once again failed to materialize. In addition, he has faced some injury issues. On the other hand, Marc Guiu is still very young.
Enzo Maresca wants a new striker who can compete with Jackson for starting role. The Blues want to sign a young player as it has been their strategy since their takeover. As of now, they are showing strong interest in Benjamin Sesko.
Sesko is only 21 years old but has proved himself on the big stage. He has scored 21 goals and picked 6 assists for RB Leipzig this season. But, the Blues are not alone in the race to sign him. He is also wanted by their london rivals Arsenal.

Chelsea have lead over Arsenal in race for Sesko
As per David Ornstein who told NBC Sports via Metro, Gunners have made striker signing their top priority this summer. He added that they have many players on their radar. He mentioned Sesko’s name but said that the North London giants have doubts about the Slovenian striker.
Sesko will cost more than €80 million this summer. He is still very young so what exactly are the doubts of Arsenal is still not clear. On the other hand, there are reports that they have made a bid of €75 million for Gyokeres. Hence, this suggests that the Sweden internation will be their top priority ahead of Sesko.
This will come as a boost for Chelsea as they have to beat one less club in the race. However, it will depend on wheter they are ready to spend such a big amount. Earlier, they have opted to spend in bold manner for youngsters. Hence, they can once again repeat that this time for Sesko.
