Chelsea and Arsenal are being linked with a move for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.

Following Nicolas Jackson’s penance for missing chances, Chelsea will be in the market for a new striker.

The Blues have been heavily linked with Sesko.

Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino has hailed Sesko, and has likened him to legendary Manchester United star Ryan Giggs.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Tony Cascarino said: “Benjamin Sesko is 1.95 metres, he is a big lad, powerful as well, and he can dribble.

“For someone his height, he runs with the ball unbelievably. He gets linked to to Erling Haaland, but if you watch him play, he dribbles like Ryan Giggs.

“He will run at people and he will literally go around them. That’s the extraordinary thing he has got. I have not seen a 6ft 5in player play like him.

“I have seen him in wide positions. He is not as traditional as a no. 9, but he can certainly go into a deep area and pick up the ball and go past people.”
