Benjamin Sesko to Arsenal could be on as major transfer clue spotted on Instagram

Benjamin Sesko’s proposed move to Arsenal could be on the cards after a major transfer clue was spotted on Instagram.

Arsenal claimed a 3-2 victory in the North London Derby on Sunday to end the weekend with a point advantage at the Premier League summit, with reigning champions Manchester City in second with a game in hand.

While Mikel Arteta’s men’s main focus will be on claiming a first Premier League title in two decades, the Gunners are likely to also have one eye on the summer, with several players’ futures appearing uncertain.

Indeed, back in March The Athletic’s transfer guru David Ornstein claimed that Aaron Ramsdale, Kieran Tierney, Nuno Tavares, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Thomas Partey, Jorginho, Emile Smith Rowe, Fabio Vieira, Reiss Nelson and Eddie Nketiah all have questions surrounding their futures.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are also expected to bring in several players.

Indeed, Sesko has been linked with a move to Arsenal for the past year, and any prospective deal may be progressing behind the scenes ahead of the summer, with the Slovenian forward’s agent having been spotted at the Emirates last Tuesday for the Gunners’ 5-0 win over Chelsea.

Elvis Basanovic, whose agency Pro Transfer have Sesko on their books, posted Instagram pictures of himself at the Emirates’ members-only lounge, The VW.

For now, of course, Arteta’s focus will be on pipping City to the Premier League title, with just three games of the Premier League campaign remaining.

Speaking to Sky Sports after Arsenal North London Derby victory on Sunday, the Spaniard said: “It’s a really tough place to come. Unbelievable atmosphere and a great team. We were super efficient in the first half, we were really well organised.

"We started the second half really well, in total control of the game, could have scored the fourth one. Then an individual error, and you can feel it, it’s game on. From there, you have to manage the game and have a bit of luck at times.

“We conceded the second one, again with a mistake that is not very usual. And then, pray! Defend your box. They threw everything. Romero was playing as a striker for the last 25-30 minutes and anything can happen.

“To win big things, you have to go through these moments. Super-happy because it’s a day to be proud, a day that means so much to our supporters. Hopefully, they can enjoy a beautiful evening.”
