Arsenal have officially announced the signing of highly-rated striker Benjamin Šeško from RB Leipzig, marking a major coup in the summer transfer window. The 21-year-old Slovenian forward has agreed to a five-year contract at the Emirates Stadium, becoming Mikel Arteta’s latest addition as the Gunners look to reinforce their attacking options.
According to club sources, Šeško’s salary package will make him the third-highest paid player at Arsenal, underlining the club’s faith in his potential and ability to make an immediate impact in the Premier League. The signing ends weeks of speculation surrounding the talented forward’s future, as several top European clubs had shown interest in his services.
However, what has truly shocked the football world is the amount of the release clause in Šeško’s new contract. Reports suggest that the figure is significantly higher than expected, effectively ruling out any immediate competition from rival clubs and securing the young star’s future in North London for the foreseeable future.
Šeško, who has earned a reputation as one of Europe’s most exciting young talents, enjoyed a breakthrough campaign with RB Leipzig last season, scoring crucial goals and showcasing his lethal finishing ability and impressive athleticism. His move to Arsenal is seen as a perfect fit, with Arteta believed to be a long-time admirer of his physical presence and sharp instinct in front of goal.
Speaking to Arsenal’s official website, sporting director Edu Gaspar expressed his delight at securing Šeško’s signature. “Benjamin is a player with incredible talent and ambition. We believe he can develop into a top-level striker here at Arsenal,” he said. “His ability to score goals and his work rate will be a huge asset for the team.”
Šeško’s arrival comes at a crucial time for the Gunners, who are determined to challenge for the Premier League title next season and make a deep run in the Champions League. With the signing of Šeško, Arsenal have added another piece to the puzzle as they build a squad capable of competing at the highest level.
For Arsenal fans, the confirmation of Šeško’s signing is a source of excitement and optimism. As the summer transfer window continues to unfold, the Gunners are sending a clear message: they mean business, and they’re not afraid to make big moves to achieve their ambitions.
