Yes. I don’t think he was their first choice though. That was Osimhen(for which negotiations with Napoli have collapsed).
Tbf to them, they’re one of the first clubs I’ve seen linked with Sesko from all the way back to 2022.
They’ve been following him for a long time.
MARCO VAN BASTEN WHERE ARE YOU NOW
Crazy talent in his prime. But if you are McBitey racist (that likes a dive too), then you kinda exclude yourself for consideration for major awards.
The fact that almost any fan will know exactly who you’re talking about is both funny and sad.
I still remember those embarrassing shirts the Liverpool players wore in defence of McBitey the Racist.
True.
I guess footballing wise he was still the best in 2016. The biting, racismo is what prevented that being official.
As the rumours are picking up pace with Sesko, I am going to recycle an old post of mine to manage expectations…Arsenal transfers go through a painful number of stages before we actually sign the player…

‘Earmarked’
‘Exploring’
‘Stepping up efforts’
‘Firm interest’

As for Sesko, I would say we are currently at the 'Stepping up efforts’ stage…
EDIT: Added “Preparing a bid” for @Powderfinger
“Preparing a bid” deserves some love as well.
Maybe that goes between ‘Making an approach’ and ‘Facing competition’?
I’m sorry but Chelsea shouldn’t be in any position
The original cheats.
The amount of money they just spent the past 2 years
Fuck off to jail
Preparing to prepare a bid should also get an honourable mention
I don’t mind us signing this guy, as long as his name is pronounced with a hard J.
So with the inverted circumflex above each ‘s’, is it pronounced Sheshko?
yea
Surely you need to have prepared a bid before you can make an approach? 
I think he’s a huge talent.
He’s rapid, not just for a tall guy, in general he’s very fast, but looks freaky on his height. Very technical too.
Happy to update the thread title to reflect the stage of proceedings according to this excellent timeline.
