Manchester United are reportedly still interested in signing 21-year-old RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, a target for Arsenal.
According to a report from Give Me Sport, Manchester United were keen on signing Benjamin Sesko in the past, and they retain an interest in him. It will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for the Slovenian international in the coming months.
The 21-year-old is one of the hottest attacking properties in European football, and he scored 18 goals for the Bundesliga club last season. He could transform Manchester United in the final third if he joins the club. The Red Devils already have two quality young strikers at their disposal. Rasmus Hojlund joined the club last years, and Joshua Zirkzee has signed for Manchester United this summer.
However, Manchester United could certainly use more quality in their squad. The Slovenian would be a quality acquisition if they can get the deal done. Sesko has a long-term contract with the Bundesliga outfit and he is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition.
Arsenal also want Sesko
The report states that Arsenal are keen on signing the young striker as well, and they are currently the front-runners to secure in signature. The Gunners need to bring in an upgrade on Gabriel Jesus. The Brazilian striker has been quite underwhelming, and he has not managed to score goals consistently.
Arsenal need another quality goalscorer if they want to win the league title and push for other major trophies. Sesko would be a quality long-term addition, and he could make a big difference for them in the final third. The 21-year-old is quite young, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a world-class forward with the right guidance.
Sesko is quite young, and he will only get better with guidance. He could develop into a key player for both clubs. It will be interesting to see if they can negotiate a more reasonable price for the player. Any move might have to wait until the summer transfer window. The Bundesliga giants will not want to lose a key player midway through the season.
