Arsenal Revive Pursuit of RB Leipzig Star Benjamin Šeško

 

Arsenal Football Club has reignited talks to sign Benjamin Šeško, the talented RB Leipzig striker.

Long admired by Mikel Arteta and his recruitment team, previous bids in May 2024 and January 2025 were rejected. 

Now, with Šeško reportedly set to leave and a €65 million release clause in place, Arsenal are pushing to land him before rivals make a move.

Šeško, who extended his contract with Leipzig until 2029, is said to have a gentleman’s agreement permitting an exit under specific conditions. 

Arsenal’s consistent interest and the player’s openness to joining a London club place them in a strong position. 

Other Premier League teams remain keen, but the Gunners are considered frontrunners as the summer transfer window approaches and squad reinforcements become urgent.
