Chelsea and Arsenal and Manchester United are the other teams that the club is considering pursuing in the summer transfer of Benjamin Sesko, a striker for RB Leipzig.

Victor Osimhen of Napoli has been heavily linked to the Blues as they search for a striker this summer, but they are also considering other alternatives.

With 13 goals in all competitions so far in his rookie year, Nicolas Jackson has performed admirably, but more оffensive puncҺ is required if Chelsea is to make a Champions League comeback.

Sesko only joined the Bundesliga team last summer after leaving Austrian club RB Salzburg. He is a desirable option because to the £42.7 million release clause in his contract, which is activated this summer.

Leipzig has reportedly begun to look into potential successors as they get prepare for life without the 20-year-old, according to The Standard.

As the competition to sign Sesko intensifies, his representatives have been guests at Chelsea and Manchester United games this season.

The Slovenian international, who has made 37 appearances in all competitions this season and is expected to have a bright future, has scored 13 goals.

Although Sesko is a big and agile attacker at 6 feet 4 inches, he is still a young player with promise, and the Blues absolutely need someone who can step in and start right away.

The Blues have also considered Brentford’s Ivan Toney and Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres as strikers in their search for a clinical marksman.

Gyokeres’ contract contains an £88 million release clause, and his representative disclosed that he is more likely to quit the team in the event that manager Ruben Amorim leaves.

Given the Romelu Lukaku fiasco and the fact that the Blues have only been successful in the last 20 years with Didier Drogba and Diego Costa, despite spending milliоns on some of the finest attackers in the world, it is imperative that the club signs the correct player this summer.
