*Slovenian striker prioritizes development as Gunners negotiate €80m+ deal with RB Leipzig*
Arsenal have taken a major step in their pursuit of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Šeško after reaching an agreement on personal terms with the Slovenian international, according to explosive reports. The 21-year-old sensation, long admired by the Gunners’ recruitment team, is now at the center of advanced negotiations between the two clubs as Mikel Arteta looks to secure his top attacking target.
Sky Germany reports that Leipzig are open to flexible payment structures for Šeško’s transfer, though Arsenal may need to pay above his €80 million release clause if they opt against a lump-sum payment.
The development comes after the young forward hinted at his career priorities in a revealing interview with Sport1: “I want to play for a club that suits me, that brings out the best in me,” Šeško said. “That’s the most important thing.”
While acknowledging Leipzig’s role in his development (“They’ve given me so much”), Šeško kept his options open: “I’m taking it day by day. If a transfer happens, great. If not, I’m still a Leipzig player.” His measured comments suggest Arsenal’s project – with its proven track record of nurturing young talent like Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard – could be the perfect next step.
With Chelsea and Manchester United also monitoring the situation, Arsenal are now racing to finalize what could be their marquee signing of the summer. Should the deal cross the line, Šeško’s blend of physicality (6’5″), technical ability, and room for growth could make him the ideal successor to Gabriel Jesus in Arteta’s evolving frontline.
