Tottenham want to sign Arsenal target Benjamin Sesko ahead of next season.

Spurs are looking to reinforce their squad in the upcoming summer transfer window. They have made significant progress under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou and are now looking to take the next step by reshaping the squad ahead of next season.

Tottenham are looking for a top-quality number nine to help bolster their attack and according to a report from Fichajes, they are interested in the services of RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko. The 20-year-old has found the back of the net on 18 occasions this term and his impressive rise has attracted a lot of interest from England.

Spurs parted ways with Harry Kane last summer and decided against signing a replacement. While Son Heung-min has done a great job as a striker, Postecoglou wants to have the option to use him out wide when needed. With Richarlison being inconsistent, they are looking at Sesko as an ideal addition.

They are looking to sign a quality striker to fill the void left by Kane and Sesko could be a great option for the short as well as long run. The Slovenian could improve them in attack but signing him won’t be easy with Arsenal in the mix.

The Gunners are looking to bolster Mikel Arteta’s attack in the summer to help them take the next step. They are looking at Sesko to form a lethal duo up top with Kai Havertz. Arteta feels the addition of Sesko could give them adequate depth and quality in attack.

While Leipzig want to keep hold of their star for at least another season, they will find it difficult with Arsenal and Tottenham both keen on his signature.
