On Wednesday, Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Marco Guidi revealed Arsenal had made an important offer for RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Šeško in the summer window.
Arsenal are still in the picture to sign him, along with Manchester City and Manchester United. That’s at least what Bild journalist Sten Hornig said during an interview with Tutto Juve.
He claims Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United are keeping close tabs on the 23-year-old.
The Slovenia international wasn’t in favour of leaving in the summer. Instead, he signed a new contract until 2029 with the Bundesliga side.
He’s enjoyed a good start to the season, scoring six goals and registering three assists. This includes a brace in Leipzig’s 3-2 Champions League loss against Juventus on Wednesday.
Prior to this clash, Tutto Juve had a chat with Hornig, and he was asked about the chances of seeing Šeško in Serie A. The Bild journalist indicates the frontman’s future could be in the Premier League, where Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United are all keen.
“Given his age and still extremely high development potential, Šeško would probably help almost every team in Europe. However, I doubt that his path will take him to Italy next summer,” he said,
“In addition to the market value of over €75m, which is probably difficult to reach for an Italian club, the biggest difficulties will come from Premier League clubs that want to get serious next summer. I’m referring to Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal, who are among the teams that continue to monitor him the most.”
Manchester United currently have 21-year-old Rasmus Højlund and 23-year-old Joshua Zirkzee at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils could certainly use an addition in the striker department, but may want more experience. Arsenal and Manchester City could also look for a new striker next summer.
