According to TBR, a trio of Premier League giants in Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool were watching RB Leipzig trio Castello Lukeba, Xavi Simons and Benjamin Sesko in action at the weekend. Those three players could be on the move in the summer as the Bundesliga side prepares for another summer when their top performers depart.
Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool had scouts present to watch Castello Lukeba, Xavi Simons and Benjamin Sesko in action at the weekend. RB Leipzig secured three valuable points against Wolfsburg to give themselves a massive boost in the top-four race, as Simons was directly responsible for the win following a brace in that game.
The presence of the Premier League trio is a big indication that those three players could depart in the close season. It’s not very unusual for Leipzig to sell their top performers, as the club will be bracing for a busy summer ahead both in terms of outgoings and incomings.
Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are expected to strengthen their squad in different positions, with all three of those stars likely to be useful. Starting with Sesko, the Slovenian striker has been on Arsenal’s radar for quite some time, although Chelsea are also very much interested in him, while Liverpool could consider him as an alternative to the expensive Alexander Isak.
Meanwhile, Lukeba has been excelling in the heart of Leipzig’s defence, and has been the subject of big interest from elsewhere. While Premier League sides do hold an admiration, Real Madrid are his preferred destination as per many reports, as he might be the one that slips away from the clutches of those English sides.
The final player of the story is Simons, with the attacker’s brace helping Leipzig seal all three points against Wolfsburg. He has had another productive season in Germany, and the fact that he has only signed a two-year deal after making his move from PSG permanent shows he’s ready for a new challenge in the summer.
Liverpool are hopeful of landing the Dutchman over other rivals like Manchester City, although there might be late interest from the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea too. Either way, those three Leipzig stars are expected to make big switches in the summer, as it remains to be seen which of those players land in the Premier League.
