Arsenal Open Concrete Talks for Benjamin Šeško Transfer

Arsenal have reportedly opened initial concrete negotiations to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Šeško, signaling renewed efforts to land the highly-rated Slovenian forward.

Šeško has long been admired by the Arsenal recruitment team and manager Mikel Arteta, with the club making previous approaches in May 2024 and January 2025, both of which were rejected by Leipzig at the time. Despite those setbacks, the Gunners have remained persistent in their pursuit.

Now, with Šeško expected to leave Leipzig this summer, Arsenal have moved swiftly to re-establish contact and push for a deal. The 21-year-old is seen as a key target to strengthen Arsenal’s attacking options ahead of the new season.

While competition from other European clubs is expected, Arsenal’s long-standing interest and consistent engagement could give them the upper hand in securing the talented striker’s signature.

Šeško’s potential arrival would mark a significant step in Arsenal’s continued push to build a squad capable of challenging at the highest level, both domestically and in Europe.
