Benjamin Sesko explains why he snubbed Arsenal and Man Utd after penning new contract at RB Leipzig

The Slovenia international signed an extension that ties him to the Bundesliga club until 2029. His stunning debut season in Germany saw him score 18 goals and register two assists in 42 games across all competitions.

WHAT HAPPENED?

That goal record <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-want-benjamin-sesko-transfer-euro-2024-man-utd-chelsea/blt05ad1f27e023f28e" target="_blank">caught the attention of the likes of Arsenal</a>, Chelsea and Manchester United, with reports claiming the 21-year-old <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-new-no-9-benjamin-sesko-transfer-manchester-united-chelsea-rb-leipzig-gbp45m/blte9b5f3b3774f8783" target="_blank">wanted to join the Gunners this summer</a>. However, he opted to remain at the Red Bull Arena and says it was a "logical" step.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

"I had a good first year at RB Leipzig and am incredibly happy to be here," he told the club's website. "Team, club, city, fans - the overall package is simply outstanding for me. The early contract extension was therefore the logical next step for me. Even though I didn't play or score as much in the first half of the season, this phase was very important for me and my development. I feel a lot of trust and appreciation throughout the club and that is crucial for being able to perform to my full potential. In the second half of the season in particular, I was able to give something back with my goals. We have a team with great potential and a balanced mix of young and experienced players. "I'm really looking forward to taking the next steps with this team. We've already achieved a lot in my first season and often shown the amount of quality and outstanding football we can bring to the pitch. But there's still a lot more to be done and that's now our common goal."

WHAT SESKO SAID

The attacker will attempt to carry his excellent club form over to Euro 2024. Slovenia will line up against Denmark for their first game of the tournament on June 16, followed by matches against Serbia and England.
