Chelsea consider signing RB Leipzig star in January

Despite signing new players in the summer transfer window, Chelsea remain on the lookout for new players ahead of the January window.

The recent reports RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko is on the Blues’ list of potential striker targets for the January transfer window.

The Slovenia international attracted interest from Austrian champions Red Bull Salzburg during a successful four-year spell, scoring 16 goals in 30 top-flight games during his final season with the club and apparently attracting interest from Manchester United.

Sesko already has an agreement to join Leipzig in the summer of 2023 for £20.6m, though, as Man United turned their attention to Rasmus Hojlund instead.

However, Sesko’s contract at the Red Bull Arena does not end until the summer of 2028, but the youngster is already being linked with a lucrative move elsewhere, and GIVEMESPORT claims that Chelsea are weighing up a January swoop.

With the likes of Kai Havertz, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Romelu Lukaku out of Chelsea, the Blues are in need of a striker and Sesko could be their man.
