2 reasons for Arsenal to give up the plan to recruit Benjamin Sesko

Benjamin Sesko seems to be unable to move to Arsenal when the Gunners prepare to complete the contract with Viktor Gyokeres.

The Slovenian player almost joined Arsenal 12 months ago before the Euro 2024 finals, but then decided to stay at RB Leipzig and sign a new contract with the Bundesliga team. After the third consecutive season in the Premier League, Arsenal brought the new striker to the top priority in the summer of 2025, and the name Benjamin Sesko was mentioned again.

Arsenal negotiated Benjamin Sesko last month. The new sports director Andrea Berta tried to negotiate, but RB Leipzig asked for a large amount of money. According to The Independent, Arsenal still lacks at least 10 million euros to meet the price that Leipzig requests, while agreeing on personal terms with Sesko is also having many problems.
