Chelsea’s pursuit of a new striker intensifies as they consider a move for Benjamin Sesko to address underwhelming performances from Nicolas Jackson. The RB Leipzig forward, also monitored by Arsenal, Manchester United, and Manchester City, has drawn Chelsea’s attention after netting 13 goals this season. Having previously turned down Arsenal due to concerns about limited opportunities, Sesko now engages in talks with Chelsea, who seem willing to meet Leipzig's £67m valuation.
- Chelsea's Striker Search: Dissatisfied with Nicolas Jackson's consistency, Chelsea are exploring the option of signing Benjamin Sesko to push the Senegalese forward for a starting role.
- High Competition: Sesko is on the radar of Arsenal, Manchester United, and Manchester City, but Chelsea hopes to edge out rivals in the race for the Slovenian striker.
- Previous Arsenal Rejection: Sesko turned down Arsenal last summer due to concerns about being a backup to Kai Havertz, a factor Chelsea could capitalize on by offering him a more central role.
