Benjamin Sesko’s career path seems set: a move to the Premier League is likely.
That is, of course, assuming that a club is willing to meet RB Leipzig’s valuation for the Bundesliga striker.
The Slovenian has enjoyed a productive campaign in the 2024/25 season, registering 21 goals and six assists in 45 games (across all competitions).

Arsenal-linked Sesko is one of the globe’s hottest striking properties – so it’s no surprise to see him tipped to make a switch to the Premier League this summer.
Similarly to Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike, however, the 22-year-old forward won’t come cheaply.
Christian Falk now reports that the like sof Arsenal and Manchester United will have to fork out in excess of €70m [£59.6m] to progess in talks. That figure could potentially rise to €100m [£85.2m].
“Benjamin Sesko’s national coach has given him a clear message: he should not go to Saudi Arabia. That would not be good for his career. Leipzig are therefore relaxed about the situation,” the Bundesliga expert exclusively informed CaughtOffside.
“RB Leipzig is willing to talk from €70m. Ideally, however, Sesko should bring any bid up to €100m. Premier League clubs Arsenal and Manchester United are still very interested. However, there has not yet been a breakthrough in the transfer negotiations.
“As both England clubs are not taking part in the Club World Cup, which begins on 15 June, they are under no pressure to sign Sesko in the near future.”
