Chelsea have reportedly received a major boost in their pursuit of 20-year-old RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Chelsea are keen on reinforcing their attack ahead of next season, and they have their eyes set on Benjamin Sesko.

Chelsea’s struggling attack
The Blues have spent over £1 billion since Todd Boehly bought the club in the summer of 2022. Despite that big an investment into the squad, their forward line remains a major issue.

Benjamin Sesko keen on moving to the Premier League
Chelsea have prepared a shortlist of top quality forwards, and Sesko is one of the names on their list. The West Londoners have been keeping a close eye on the 20-year-old. They have watched him in action on numerous occasions and are quite confident that he could do wonders for them,
Meanwhile, they have received a boost in their pursuit as the report states that Sesko is keen on playing in the Premier League. He wants to test himself in the English top flight and could accept a move to the London club.
According to multiple reports, the Leipzig forward could be one of two strikers to arrive at Stamford Bridge during the summer. Chelsea desperately need attacking firepower up top to compete with the best, and they are willing to fork out significant funds to make it happen.
