The Slovenia international is an exciting young talent who has attracted strong interest from Arsenal, but also from the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United, though he opted to sign a new contract with Leipzig this summer instead, though a departure could finally happen for him next year.
Sources with a close understanding of the situation have informed CaughtOffside that Arsenal remain keen on Sesko and optimistic about luring him to the Emirates Stadium, with some contacts already taking place ahead of next summer in order to try to steal a march on their rivals.
In case Arsenal can’t land the 21-year-old, it is also understood that there is a growing appreciation for Inter Milan’s in-form forward Marcus Thuram inside the north London club.

Benjamin Sesko to Arsenal next summer?
Sesko or Thuram to Arsenal?
Sesko makes sense as Arsenal’s number one target, as he would be an ideal option for the present and the future, though Thuram could also be a decent option, even if only for a few years as he’s now 27 years of age.
The Frenchman has been in superb form for Inter, however, and it’s understood that he’s made Arsenal take notice, though no contact has yet been made and it remains to be seen if there’s much realistic prospect of him leaving the San Siro.
