Looking for a number 9 capable of scoring many goals, Arsenal would have set their sights on a nugget playing in Germany.
Arsenal has become a great team in England again. After a few difficult years where the Gunners suffered a series of defeats, the Londoners are now considered title contenders every year. The emergence of talent and good recruitment have helped the club. Close to winning the title twice, Arsenal is not missing much to finally win the Premier League. For more than 20 years now, Gunners fans have been hoping for the day when the players will hold up the championship trophy in the city.
Yet, Arsenal have a very good team on paper. In its squad, there are many players considered among the best in their position, such as Declan Rice, Martin Ødegaard or even Bukayo Saka. However, there is one element missing that differentiates them from their league rival, Manchester City: a very good number 9. The Citizens can boast of having one of the best number 9s in the world in the person ofErling Haaland. However, Arsenal do not have a center forward of this caliber. Gabriel Jesus was supposed to be the key, but due to numerous physical glitches, the Brazilian is no longer the number one option for Mikel Arteta. Thus, Arsenal would be actively working on recruiting a nugget for the number 9 position, Benjamin Sesko. It could be that an offer be made quickly.
Benjamin Šesko, the future goalkeeper of Arsenal?
Benjamin Šesko is considered one of the most promising center forwards of the moment. Throughout the summer of 2024, he has been courted by numerous clubs, notably Arsenal. But against all odds, the Slovenian finally extended his contract with his club, RB Leipzig. Aged only 21, the future seems set for this 1.95 meter attacker.
With all the potential he shows, Šesko attracts the eye of major European clubs. But his age is not only an asset, it can also be a flaw at certain times. The attacker is sometimes irregular in his performances. Arsenal expects their future number 9 to be decisive in his first seasons to compete with the offensive armada that is Erling Haaland. For Benjamin Šesko, the competition will be tough because Arsenal are not the only club to have fallen under the spell of the Slovenian center forward.
