Chelsea star backs the £55 million transfer of Benjamin Sesko amidst major updates concerning Arsenal and a call from Manchester United.
Djorde Petrovic has expressed a clear desire for Chelsea to secure the signing of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig this summer. Alongside Arsenal and Manchester United, Chelsea is interested in acquiring the Slovenia international. Sesko’s £55 million release clause makes him an attractive option, especially with other potential targets like Victor Osimhen and Alexander Isak considered too costly. Sesko’s impressive performance, including scoring 18 goals this season, has heightened interest from top clubs.
Despite Leipzig’s efforts to retain Sesko by initiating contract talks, he appears inclined towards a summer transfer, with Arsenal reportedly being his preferred destination. This preference could pose a challenge for Chelsea, but Petrovic’s endorsement may sway the decision in Chelsea’s favor.
Petrovic spoke highly of Sesko, acknowledging his strong form and suitability for the Premier League. Despite Man United’s interest, Sesko’s agent attending a match between United and Arsenal hints at a potential inclination towards the latter.
