Arsenal’s transfer window has just erupted into life, and the Gunners faithful couldn’t be more thrilled. In a morning that already feels historic, 21-year-old Slovenian sensation Benjamin Šeško was spotted at the Emirates Stadium, triggering a whirlwind of excitement among supporters who have been crying out for a prolific striker.
Šeško, who lit up the Bundesliga last season with a jaw-dropping 30 goals for RB Leipzig, was seen arriving at the club’s North London base where he took time out to sign autographs and greet fans — a clear sign that his move to Arsenal is all but complete.
Dressed in casual wear, but with a red and white Arsenal scarf draped over his shoulders, Šeško was all smiles as he posed for pictures with young fans and waved to a chanting crowd that had gathered outside the stadium gates. The chants of “Sesko! Sesko!” echoed across the Emirates concourse as fans celebrated what they believe is the arrival of a game-changing striker.
The sighting has fueled speculation that Arsenal are preparing to announce the deal within the next 24 hours. Reports indicate that Šeško will pen a five-year contract that will keep him at the Emirates until the summer of 2030, with the move believed to be one of the most lucrative deals in Arsenal’s recent history.
One overjoyed fan who had traveled from Birmingham to catch a glimpse of the striker said, “This is exactly the kind of player we’ve needed — tall, mobile, lethal. Seeing him here, live, in the flesh, feels like the start of something huge. He’s got that aura about him.”
According to insiders, personal terms between Šeško and Arsenal were agreed earlier this week, with the clubs finalizing the paperwork overnight. The striker is due to complete his medical at London Colney later today, before the official unveiling that could take place this evening.
Arsenal’s sporting director Edu was spotted arriving at the training facility earlier this morning as well, adding further credibility to the reports that the announcement is imminent. Edu is expected to be central to the presentation of Šeško, having played a key role in convincing the striker to choose Arsenal over other interested giants including Chelsea, AC Milan, and Manchester United.
Mikel Arteta has long made it clear that he wants a reliable and physical striker who can finish chances and carry the team in tight contests — and Šeško ticks every box. At 6’5”, with blistering pace, a thunderous shot, and a strong aerial presence, the Slovenian fits the profile of a complete modern No. 9.
“Benjamin is a top striker with immense potential,” said a senior Arsenal official in a press briefing this morning. “We believe he’s the perfect fit for our style and ambitions. His quality, physical presence, and hunger to score goals will add a new dimension to our squad.”
Šeško’s numbers last season speak volumes: 30 goals across the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, and European competitions. He registered five braces and two hat-tricks, while also assisting nine more goals for his teammates. His ability to hold the ball up, bring others into play, and stretch defenses is expected to transform Arsenal’s attacking play.
Mikel Arteta, known for building a cohesive and aggressive squad, is understood to be preparing a new tactical setup to accommodate Šeško’s strengths. Sources close to the team say the Spaniard is already working on a front three featuring Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka, and Šeško — a frightening prospect for Premier League defenders.
For Arsenal fans, Šeško’s signing signals more than just firepower. It symbolizes ambition. After narrowly missing out on the Premier League title last season, the club is moving with intent, reinforcing key positions and ensuring they’re ready to compete across all fronts.
Social media erupted this morning as videos of Šeško arriving at the Emirates quickly went viral. “He’s here,” one fan posted on X (formerly Twitter), while another wrote, “This is not a drill. Šeško is signing TODAY. Let’s go!”
The Gunners are reportedly planning a grand unveiling, which may even take place at the stadium this evening ahead of their pre-season fixture. Arsenal’s media team has already teased a “major announcement” across their social platforms — all but confirming the arrival of the Slovenian hitman.
Šeško’s journey to North London has been watched closely by scouts and analysts for over two years. A product of Red Bull Salzburg’s famed academy before making his name in Leipzig, he has long been considered one of the top emerging strikers in world football.
His decision to join Arsenal is a testament to the club’s project under Arteta — a young, hungry squad that plays attractive football and is determined to bring silverware back to the Emirates. With Šeško now seemingly on board, the club’s ambitions look more realistic than ever.
Šeško is expected to wear the No. 9 shirt — a number that carries serious weight in Arsenal history. From Alan Smith to Nicolas Anelka, the Gunners have long cherished iconic strikers, and Šeško appears ready to write his own chapter in that legacy.
As Arsenal fans await the official confirmation, one thing is clear: North London is buzzing. The Emirates is alive. And the Benjamin Šeško era may be about to begin in red and white.
Stay tuned — Arsenal’s summer just got seriou
