Arsenal have received a major boost in their summer transfer plans with negotiations for highly-rated striker Benjamin Šeško now advancing, according to the latest update from transfer insider Fabrizio Romano.
Following reports last week of concrete interest from the Gunners, Romano has revealed that discussions between Arsenal, Šeško’s representatives, and his current club are “underway and proceeding well.” While no agreement has been reached yet, and none is expected over the weekend, this is the clearest sign yet that Arsenal are pushing forward with intent to bring the 21-year-old to the Emirates.
Šeško, who has impressed with his performances in the Bundesliga, is seen as one of Europe’s most exciting young forwards. Standing at 6’5” with a blend of pace, power, and technical quality, he fits the profile Arsenal have long desired in a centre-forward — especially as they seek a long-term solution at the top of their attack.
Arsenal’s recruitment team is believed to be united in their admiration for Šeško, and the club has been laying the groundwork for weeks to ensure they are in a strong position once formal negotiations intensified. With the green light now seemingly given to advance talks, the focus will shift to finalising terms that work for both player and club.
Despite no deal being imminent, the direction of travel is clearly positive. Arsenal are expected to continue pushing hard over the coming days, knowing that they face competition from several top European clubs for Šeško’s signature. The player’s desire to take the next step in his career is no secret, and Arsenal are believed to have made a strong impression with their vision, project, and the opportunity for him to play a central role in one of the Premier League’s most ambitious young teams.
Mikel Arteta, in particular, sees Šeško as a key piece in his evolving tactical puzzle. The Slovenian’s ability to link play, stretch defences, and finish clinically could give Arsenal a new dimension in games where they struggle to break down deep blocks — a recurring theme in their title challenge last season.
While the fee involved remains under wraps for now, it is expected that Šeško’s transfer would command a significant investment. However, Arsenal appear willing to meet those demands if it means securing their top striker target for the future.
As the summer window heats up, this development will excite Arsenal fans hoping for another strong statement of intent. Although nothing is final, the momentum is firmly with the Gunners — and if negotiations continue on their current trajectory, Benjamin Šeško could be the marquee name leading the line in red and white next season.
