Arsenal told that 'extraordinary' £55m target is unlike any player in the world

Arsenal have been told that a rumoured transfer target is unlike any other player in the world currently playing.

The Gunners are priming themselves up for what could be their biggest summer under Mikel Arteta, with Arsenal set to spend big on a centre-forward and central midfielder ahead of the new Premier League season.

With Douglas Luiz just one of many big-name players linked with a move to north London, Arsenal fans could expect some huge signings this summer if Arteta and company can get their business done early for the right players.

And one rumoured target has now received some quite impressive praise.

Benjamin Sesko likened to Premier League legend after Arsenal links

Speaking on TalkSport, pundit Tony Cascarino showered Benjamin Sesko with praise over how unique the RB Leipzig striker is, comparing the 21-year-old to Manchester United icon Ryan Giggs.

With Arsenal strongly linked with a move for Sesko, the Slovenian international could be the Gunners’ first signing of the summer transfer window, with the striker now hailed as quite remarkable physical talent.

Cascarino said about Sesko’s style of play: “He is 6′ 5″, he’s a big lad, powerful as well, and he can dribble. For someone who is 6′ 5″, he runs with the ball unbelievably. He gets linked to being similar to Haaland, but if you watch him play, he dribbles like Ryan Giggs.

“He will run at people and he will literally go around them. That’s the extraordinary thing he has got, I have not seen a 6′ 5” player play like him. I have seen him in wide positions. He is not as traditional as a no. 9, but he can certainly go into a deep area and pick up the ball and he will go past people.”

Sesko praise should get fans excited about potential transfer

Arsenal are in the market for a striker, and with Sesko emerging as a prime target for the Gunners, this latest round of praise surrounding the forward should get fans excited about a potential transfer.

With 18 goals last season, Arteta could be the man to take Sesko’s game to the next level, with the centre-forward potentially the final piece of the puzzle in Arsenal’s attack for the new season.

Indeed, comparisons to Haaland and Giggs highlight just how good Sesko could become with the right development plan, and Arsenal could be the dream club to get the best out of the 21-year-old in the years to come.
