Premier League season after 10 games as Spurs lead from Arsenal<\/h3>\n

Arsenal have reportedly sent scouts to monitor RB Leipzig wonderkid Benjamin Sesko as they look to beat out competition from Manchester United for the 20-year-old, who has been dubbed the \u2018Slovenian Erling Haaland\u2019. The Gunners have been urged to bolster their forward line but signing a player with a bright future ahead of him rather than a household name could prove to be a very shrewd decision.<\/p>\n

Sesko is said to be considered by Arsenal following his impressive start to the season, scoring three times in seven Bundesliga appearances. He has also hit the back of the net four times during Slovenia\u2019s Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, prompting plenty of top clubs to take notice.<\/p>\n

One of those teams is Arsenal, who have scouted Sesko this season and continue to track his progress. This comes at a time when Edu and Mikel Arteta have been called on to sign a top-class striker to help them usurp Manchester City for the Premier League title this season.<\/p>\n

Ivan Toney has already been mentioned, but signing the Brentford star could cause a logjam up front. With the England striker set to demand a fee in the region of \u00a360million, he would provide immediate competition for the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah and Kai Havertz.<\/p>\n

The apple cart could be upset with so many senior strikers competing for minutes. Jesus and Nketiah especially have performed well up front this season and if their minutes are significantly reduced then there is the possibility of having too many options for one spot.<\/p>\n

However, Sesko would not demand a large amount of minutes immediately and has only started two out of his seven league games in Germany this season. He could learn from the current crop and not take as much game time away from them as opposed to Toney.<\/p>\n
