What I heard is…”: Journalist confirms Tottenham are “interested” in 17-goal forward
Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.
The 21-year-old Slovenian striker is one of the finest young talents in world football right now and he has been linked with multiple clubs. Christian Falk has now confirmed to CaughtOffside that Tottenham are among clubs who are interested in securing his signature.
“There are rumours in Germany that there’s a release clause included within this, but I can’t confirm this for certain. I’m aware he’s got a gentleman’s agreement with the club whereby he could leave if Leipzig receive an offer worth upwards of €70m.
“The Premier League is very interesting for Sesko. What I heard is that Arsenal are leading the race. Though, of course, the likes of Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool – not Manchester City, as they have Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush! – are also interested.”
Sesko has 17 goals and five assists in all competitions and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for Tottenham. He could share the goalscoring burden with Dominic Solanke and add more cutting edge in the final third. The 21-year-old will add physicality, pace and flair to the side as well.
Spurs need more quality and depth in the attacking unit if they want to fight for major trophies and compete in the Champions League regularly. Signing a prodigious young talent like Sesko would be a solid long-term investment. He could develop into a future star.
Tottenham must get rid of players like Timo Werner and Richarlison in the summer, and it will be interesting to see who they replace the duo with. They need a clinical finisher and a dynamic attacker capable of slotting anywhere across the front three.
Meanwhile, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are keen on the 21-year-old Bundesliga striker as well. The Gunners are reportedly leading the race for his signature. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can beat them to his signing.
