Why Benjamin Sesko is such a sought-after striker this summer

The 21-year-old Slovenian is prolific, adaptable and, best of all, available at a reasonable price. No wonder Arsenal are keen

Strikers are going to be in demand this summer. Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyökeres, Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney may be on the move, with a number of heavy hitters in England and abroad on the lookout for goalscorers. Perhaps the most interesting striker on the market, though, is one who struggled for regular game time for his side earlier this season.

Benjamin Sesko was unlucky to arrive at RB Leipzig in the same summer as Loïs Openda. Leipzig signed Sesko from Red Bull Salzburg last August, a month after they had spent €45m to bring Openda from Lens. Openda was superb in his first campaign in Germany, scoring 24 goals and providing seven assists in the Bundesliga. The Belgian took no time to adjust to the rigours of German football.
