Benjamin Sesko has recently announced that he will not be moving to Arsenal this summer, stating that he believes he has made the right decision. Despite Manchester United and Chelsea also expressing interest in the Slovenia international, it was the Gunners who seemed to be leading the race to sign the 21-year-old in June. However, Sesko had a release clause of £56million that could only be activated before the end of that month. Ultimately, the striker decided to stay with his current team, RB Leipzig, and signed a new contract.
Many fans were surprised by Sesko's decision, especially since United, Arsenal, and Chelsea were all in the market for a new striker this summer. However, Sesko is confident that he has made the best choice by staying in Germany for at least another year. In an interview with Nogomania, he explained, "I thought it through very well. I believe I made the right decision. I wanted to gain more experience, learn more, and not rush things. Leipzig is an excellent club that can provide what I need for the next step. Leipzig's vision is clear; everything is geared towards growth, progress, and high goals."
It seems that Sesko's decision was not only motivated by his personal growth, but also by the potential for success with RB Leipzig. He added, "I felt it was right to decide this way." In fact, his new contract reportedly includes a gentleman's agreement that allows him to move away from Leipzig next year.
Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville praised Sesko for his decision during Euro 2024, stating that it will ultimately benefit all parties in the long-term. He said, "I think we are moving back to having a big physical striker up front. The game seems to have flipped a little bit by having big defenders and big strikers. Sesko is someone who has so much potential and you can see why Premier League clubs are interested. But I can also see why, as being suggested, he is staying at Leipzig for another year. It will give him the chance to grow without the spotlight you get on you in the Premier League and just develop his game a little bit more."
Despite the disappointment of some fans, it seems that Sesko has a clear plan for his career and is confident in his decision to stay with RB Leipzig. As the new season approaches, many will be keeping a close eye on his progress and potential move next year. In the meantime, Sesko remains focused on his current team and their shared goals for the future. Stay tuned for more updates on this rising star.
