Arsenal 'reach agreement' with Benjamin Sesko on transfer from RB Leipzig as final fee for Slovenian striker revealed

<p>Arsenal appear to be edging closer to landing one of their top summer targets, with <a href="http://sportbild.de/" target="_blank"><em>Sport Bild</em> </a>suggesting that the Premier League giants have reached an agreement on personal terms with Sesko. He enjoyed an outstanding 2024-25 campaign at Leipzig, scoring 21 goals across all competitions in 45 appearances. His performances have not gone unnoticed, and Arsenal, who had previously expressed interest in signing the Slovenian forward last summer, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-s-striker-search-hits-a-wall-refuse-to-pay-up-benjamin-sesko-viktor-gyokeres-asking-prices-too-high/blt9ea5820ffa18b37b" target="_blank">have reignited their pursuit </a>with more concrete steps this time around.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Leipzig are believed to be expecting a substantial bid in line with Sesko’s market value, with reports indicating the German outfit will demand a sum in the region of £68.5 million to £85.5 million. While Arsenal have not yet submitted a formal bid, they are said to have communicated their willingness to meet Leipzig’s valuation. The Bundesliga club are anticipating <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-plan-c-new-striker-talks-benjamin-sesko-viktor-gyokeres-stall/blt9bb074fb9ab6e93e" target="_blank">a concrete proposal</a> in the coming days, and confidence is reportedly growing that a full agreement can be reached ahead of Arsenal’s pre-season schedule.  </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>One of the major pulls for Sesko is the opportunity to play in Europe’s most prestigious club competition next season. While Leipzig could only manage a seventh-place finish in the Bundesliga, missing out on Champions League qualification, Arsenal secured their place in the tournament after another strong domestic campaign. While Sesko remains calm and is not agitating for a move, he is said to be intrigued by the idea of representing Arsenal on the biggest continental stage.  </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>While the final stages of the deal remain to be completed, Arsenal fans can be cautiously optimistic that a long-standing target may soon be pulling on the red and white shirt. In recent weeks, Sesko has also attracted attention from abroad, and even received a lucrative offer <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/competition-arsenal-al-hilal-benjamin-sesko-victor-osimhen-snubs-move-saudi-pro-league-side/blt887aab209b19a943" target="_blank">from Saudi club Al-Hilal.</a> However, the striker turned down the proposal, reinforcing the belief that his sights are firmly set on a move to the Premier League, and specifically to Arsenal.</p>
