Scouts from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool have all been tracking Sesko closely and even attended Leipzig's latest Bundesliga fixture against Bayern Munich, where he scored in a 3-3 draw. Those in attendance were not only watching Sesko, but also keeping tabs on his team-mates Castello Lukeba and Xavi Simons.
DID YOU KNOW?
Arsenal appear to be the frontrunners for Sesko at the moment. The Gunners are reported to have done significant groundwork on the player over the past year, including internal evaluations and conversations about how he might fit into Mikel Arteta’s long-term vision.
Although Arsenal showed interest in Sesko during the previous summer window, the striker opted to remain in Germany and extend his stay at Leipzig to continue his development. However, reports now indicate that Sesko has changed his stance and is enthusiastic about the prospect of joining the north London club. Alexander Isak is reportedly the ideal target for Arsenal, but with Newcastle unlikely to sanction a deal for their star forward, Sesko is emerging as the more attainable choice.

Sesko’s future seems increasingly tied to English football. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining where the highly rated striker ends up, but if the current momentum continues, a blockbuster move to Arsenal or another top Premier League club appears inevitable. While Sesko remains the centrepiece of transfer talks, interest in Lukeba and Simons suggests that the Bundesliga outfit may have a challenging few months ahead.
