Manchester City hijack Benjamin Sesko deal, ready to offer bumper deal.
Should their plan materialize, Mikel Arteta would have his own Erling Haaland to work with for the upcoming campaign at Arsenal.
Benjamin Sesko is predicted to follow in Haaland’s footsteps once more by moving up to the Premier League. Sesko made the same leap from Red Bull Salzburg to the Bundesliga as Manchester City’s goal machine.

According to The Daily Mirror, Arsenal has a strong chance of signing the striker, who is valued at £55 million and would rather relocate to North London than play for English rivals or Saudi Arabian teams.
Arsenal is getting closer to signing Sesko, who is frequently referred to as the “next Haaland,” even though the summer transfer window hasn’t opened yet. It appears that sporting director Edu has heard Arteta’s plea loud and clear.
Even the Slovenian’s Leipzig teammates had drawn comparisons, claiming with audacity that he would not only match but surpass Haaland’s goal-scoring prowess.
“Such comparisons motivate me and give me energy,” he told the Bundesliga. “They do not represent pressure. I will listen and learn so I can be even better than he is. My teammates at the club tell me that Haaland and I are very similar, especially in terms of speed. Most of them even tell me that I’m better than him!”
The 21-year-old, who stands at an impressive 6’5″, scored 14 goals in his first season in the Bundesliga. Haaland and Sesko have been compared due to their comparable career paths, and Sesko may now find himself in north London to compete with the Norwegian striker.
In your opinion, do you think Sesko can match Haaland’s scoring rate in the Premier League?
