Al-Hilal table bid to sign Benjamin Sesko amid Arsenal links
RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko has been linked with a move away from the Bundesliga club throughout the summer transfer window.
Benjamin Sesko has attracted interest from several clubs, with Saudi Arabian sides now reportedly entering the race. According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Al-Hilal have submitted an offer of €100 million to sign him. It remains to be seen whether they can secure his signature.
Sesko is considered one of Europe’s finest young attacking talents, having contributed to 27 goals last season. However, given his age and potential, a move to Saudi Arabia might not be ideal at this stage of his career. Remaining in Europe—where he can compete for top trophies and develop further—would make more sense.
A move to Arsenal would have been ideal for him, but the Gunners appear to have shifted focus and are now closing in on the signing of Viktor Gyökeres.
It will be interesting to see if another European club offers the 22-year-old striker a way out. He has excelled in the Bundesliga and possesses the technical skills to succeed in other top leagues.
Sesko must stay in Europe
Šeško is still young and will continue to improve with good coaching and experience. With the right guidance, he could become a world-class striker. Whoever signs him could be securing a future superstar.
He needs to join a competitive team where he can fight for major honours such as league titles and the UEFA Champions League. A move to Saudi Arabia would be surprising at this stage, even if they can offer massive financial incentives. For now, he should prioritise his development over a payday.
A move to Arsenal seems unlikely this summer, and he will be hoping that a big European club comes in for him. If that does not happen, staying at the German club might be ideal for him. He is an elite talent, and he will have plenty of opportunities to join top clubs. He should focus on his development and continue to compete at the highest level.
