HERE WE GO‼️ Arsenal Complete Striker’s Signing as Free Agent Joins on Three-Year Deal.
Arsenal have officially confirmed the signing of Benjamin Sesko on a three-year deal after weeks of speculation. The 21-year-old Slovenian striker joins the Gunners on a free transfer following the expiration of his contract with RB Leipzig, marking a major statement of intent from Mikel Arteta ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Known for his blistering pace, aerial dominance, and clinical finishing, Sesko is expected to bring a new dynamic to Arsenal’s attacking line. The club had long been in the market for a natural number 9, and after pursuing several targets, Arteta has finally landed his man.
Sesko scored 14 goals in the Bundesliga last season and impressed in the Champions League, catching the attention of Europe’s elite. However, Arsenal’s clear vision, young core, and Champions League football proved decisive in his choice. The striker is believed to have turned down interest from Chelsea and AC Milan in favor of the North London project.
Speaking after the announcement, Arteta expressed his excitement: “Benjamin is a top talent with huge potential. He fits our style perfectly and adds qualities we’ve been missing. He’s hungry, and we’re delighted to welcome him.”
Sporting Director Edu added, “This deal shows our ambition. We worked hard to make this happen and are thrilled to bring him to Arsenal.”
Sesko will wear the No. 9 shirt, previously vacant, and is expected to join the squad for preseason in early July. His arrival could mean a shift in Arsenal’s tactical setup, with Gabriel Jesus likely to operate in a more fluid role.
Fans have flooded social media with excitement, hailing the move as the final piece in Arteta’s title-chasing puzzle. After years of searching, Arsenal finally have their striker.
