Arsenal have struck gold with a "future legend" who's worth millions more than Sesko - opinion

For example, he racked up a haul of 20 goal involvements in 42 appearances and already has 16 in 25 this season, meaning he's currently averaging one every 1.56 games.

The former RB Salzburg star would represent more of a gamble than some of the other strikers linked with Arsenal this month, but his potential upside is enormous.

Just imagine the thought of him linking up with one of the best creators in Arsenal's side; it certainly feels like a match made in heaven and one that could turn Sesko into an even more prolific forward.

So, to get straight to the point, the player in question is, of course, the sensational Bukayo Saka, who, according to the CIES Football Observatory, is worth about €157m, which is £133m, or £63m more than Šeško could cost.

Now, that is an undeniably massive number, but over the last few seasons, the young Englishman has more than justified it.

For example, last season saw him score 20 goals and provide 14 assists in just 47 appearances, which comes out to an average of a goal involvement every 1.38 games.Saka's senior career

Somehow, prior to getting injured, the 23-year-old was doing even better this season, racking up a haul of nine goals and 13 assists in just 24 appearances, which is an average of a goal involvement every 1.09 games.

On top of that, the Gunners' "future legend," as talent scout Jacek Kulig described him, has also won 43 senior caps for the Three Lions, in which he's scored 12 goals, provided seven assists and won back-to-back player of the year awards.

The Hale End superstar is undoubtedly Arsenal's best player and most certainly in the world-class bracket, so it's unsurprising that some of the team's worst performances this season have come when he's not played.

Ultimately, Arteta and Co should sign Šeško this month as he looks ready to explode, but even if he reaches his lofty potential, it's unlikely that he'll ever be worth as much, let alone more, than the sensational Saka.
