Chelsea eyeing move for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko

Chelsea, the struggling Premier League outfit, are eyeing RB Leipzig’s forward, Benjamin Sesko, as a potential solution to their offensive struggles.

Since his arrival at the club last summer, Nicolas Jackson has failed to consistently deliver, while Christopher Nkunku’s opportunities to shine have been hampered by injuries. Consequently, Chelsea are exploring the possibility of addressing their attacking deficiencies through the acquisition of a new striker.

Benjamin Sesko has made 26 appearances for RB Leipzig, finding the back of the net on 9 occasions. Additionally, the Slovenian forward has represented his country in 25 matches, scoring 10 goals.

Given Chelsea’s quest for reinforcements, Sesko has emerged as a viable target alongside other high-profile players. Reports suggest that Sesko could be available for a fee of 50 million euros, owing to a release clause in his contract, according to Milan Live.

The potential acquisition of Sesko underscores Chelsea’s determination to bolster their squad and reignite their attacking prowess. With the team languishing in the league standings, a dynamic and prolific striker like Sesko could provide the firepower needed to turn their fortunes around.
