Arsenal has officially offered £46m to sign a striker who possesses a playing style similar to that of Erling Haaland – Report…

Arsenal have initiated their pursuit of a new striker by submitting a £46m bid.

A report indicates that Arsenal has officially put forward a bid of £46m in their pursuit of a striker who exhibits a playing style reminiscent of Erling Haaland.

The club is determined to bolster their attacking options this summer, with the aim of closing the gap on Manchester City. Mikel Arteta has set his sights on a striker who can make a significant impact.

Despite the transfer window not being officially open, Arsenal have wasted no time in making their move. They have tabled an offer to secure the services of a top-quality striker.

Arsenal table £46m bid for Benjamin Sesko.

RB Leipzig’s forward is in high demand, with several clubs expressing interest in him recently, including Chelsea.

However, it seems that Arsenal is leading the race to secure his services, as Edu Gaspar, the club’s representative, has taken the initiative to finalize the deal.

According to Football Transfers, Arsenal has submitted a bid to acquire Sesko. The proposed fee is believed to be around €55 million (£46.8m), and the Gunners are optimistic that it will be accepted.

It is worth noting that Sesko’s release clause currently stands at €65 million (£55.4m), so Arsenal’s initial offer falls short of Leipzig’s desired amount.

Nevertheless, the report suggests that Sesko is open to the idea of joining Arsenal this summer, and making an offer like the one Arsenal has presented is considered a common practice in such situations.

Sesko, who recently joined Leipzig in 2023, has a contract that extends until the summer of 2028.

Who does Sesko resemble in terms of playing style?

Benjamin Sesko is an incredibly unique striker.

Despite being only 21 years old, he stands at an impressive height of 6ft 5in and possesses remarkable speed. Additionally, he exhibits proficiency with both feet, showcases great athleticism, and can even excel in playing on the flanks.

These qualities distinguish him from the majority of strikers worldwide. Interestingly, the Bundesliga’s official website draws a comparison between Sesko and the renowned Manchester City superstar, Erling Haaland.

Furthermore, Sesko once disclosed that his former teammates at Salzburg used to claim that he was superior to the Norwegian international.

My club teammates often mention that Haaland and I share many similarities, particularly in terms of speed, as I have mentioned before.

“They even go as far as saying that I am better than him!”
