Rival clubs now believe that Arsenal are on pole position to sign one player during the summer transfer window, should they decide to make a move over the coming months.
As things stand, the Gunners appear set to just miss out on the Premier League title for a second year running, but further progress has definitely been made, and Mikel Arteta’s men are continuing to travel in the right direction.
This summer could be a fascinating one at the Emirates, with Arsenal on the lookout for what could be the final pieces in the jigsaw, particularly as they look to go further in the Champions League.
One player on their radar is Benjamin Sesko. In fact, reports this week claimed that Arsenal are set to hold talks with RB Leipzig in the next few days over a potential move for Sesko.
Rival clubs think Arsenal lead Benjamin Sesko
It certainly seems that the Slovenian’s admirers are worried about the possibility of Arsenal being in the race to sign the 20-year-old, who has now scored six in his last six.
According to a report from The Telegraph, rival clubs now believe that Arsenal will be in the driving seat to sign Sesko should they confirm their interest by making a move for the youngster.
Gunners now shopping in a different market
The Gunners are now in a place where they can contend for some of the world’s best younger players, particularly as it does not feel as though Arteta’s men have reached their ceiling yet.
Arsenal have signed a number of players in the last few years who are still some way off reaching their peaks. And that has been proven by the team going into the final day of this season with a chance of still winning the title.
Sesko is definitely looking like one of the most impressive young strikers around right now. And the form of Kai Havertz has given Arsenal the freedom to target someone who is not yet at their very best.
It seems if they do target Sesko, many clubs believe that Arsenal are well-placed to get a deal done.
