Frank Leboeuf has warned Arsenal that Mikel Arteta’s top target, Benjamin Sesko, does not guarantee goals. He believes that the RB Leipzig star is not worth the fee demanded and that the Gunners should look elsewhere.
Leboeuf said on ESPN FC that Sesko could easily flop in the Premier League like Darwin Nunez and Jadon Sancho. He slammed Arteta for pushing Arsenal to spend big on the RB Leipzig star and added that the manager would not be going for it if it were his money. He said via METRO:
Arsenal are in talks to sign Benjamin Sesko this summer, but have not agreed a deal yet. The Bundesliga side want £85 million for the 22-year-old forward.
The Gunners are also in talks for Viktor Gyokeres, who has a similar price tag on him. Sporting CP are open to a sale, but have not received any bids.
Dwight Yorke is a fan of Benjamin Sesko and urged Manchester United to sign the RB Leipzig star in January 2025. He claimed that the Arsenal target was similar to Alexander Isak and said via Football Talk:
Manchester United are interested in Sesko, but have Viktor Gyokeres as their top target. They are also linked with Victor Osimhen, while the other target, Liam Delap, has picked Chelsea.
