Gabriel Jesus’s injury has reignited Arsenal’s interest in Benjamin Šeško, as criticism mounts over Mikel Arteta’s failure to sign a striker.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is facing criticism after failing to sign a striker in recent transfer windows. Following back-to-back defeats against Manchester United and Newcastle United, the BBC echoed the frustrations of many fans, pointing to the lack of a reliable backup for Gabriel Jesus, who is now out with a long-term knee injury.
Benjamin Šeško back in the spotlight
The injury to Jesus has reignited speculation about Benjamin Šeško, the promising Slovenian forward currently at RB Leipzig. Media reports suggest that Arsenal remains highly interested in the 20-year-old, with influential journalist Ben Jacobs highlighting the club’s ongoing admiration for the striker.
Šeško, who turned down Premier League interest last summer to develop at Leipzig, is unlikely to move in January. However, Arsenal could make a serious push for him in the summer, given their need to bolster their attacking options.
Arteta’s decision not to address Arsenal’s thin attacking lineup has drawn widespread criticism, with Šeško emerging as a potential long-term solution for the Gunners.
