Arsenal is looking for a striker this summer and have money to spend to spend Mikel Arteta what he wants, and the Gunners have had new conversations with RB Leipzig more than £ 60 million rated star Benjamin Sesko
Arsenal has held further discussions about a £ 60 million step for Benjamin Sesko. And RB Leipzig are ready to sell the 22-year-old Slovenia striker if they get the right offer this summer.
Sesko is on the shortlist of Arsenal and they have spoken to his representatives and RB Leipzig about a deal with the German club that is ready to talk if they can reach agreement. Arsenal Sporting Director Andrea Berta also has Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyökeres on the Shortlist, while Alexander Isak of Newcastle is impossible with the Toon Army that refuses to sell.
The Gunners came close to Sesko last summer, but he decided to stay in Leipzig for another year instead of moving to the Premier League. But if Arsenal waded through the options, the fact that Arsenal has held further conversations about Sesko may indicate that they are moving in that direction.
Leipzig is planning to sell both Sesko and the Dutch attacking midfielder Xavi Simons to reinstall the books and to finance a required rebuilding this summer, after missing the European qualification during a chaotic 2024-25 campaign.
On the other side of the Munt, Gyökkeres prefers a switch to Arsenal over other Premier League clubs and also interest from Spain and Italy.
Sporting is ready to sell the Swedish international who has achieved 95 goals in 100 performances for the Portuguese club that allows him to leave when a club arrives this summer with just over £ 60 million. Gyokees knows English football from his time in Brighton and Coventry, but he really made his name in Portugal, but is ready for a new challenge.
Gyokees himself has been tight. Asked for his future after the last match of Sporting of the season, he said: “Let's look. It's hard for me to say, because yes, it's football and you never know what will happen in the summer.
“So for me to say something other than that is impossible.”
Manchester United -Baas Ruben Amorim is also enthusiastic about a no. 9, knows everything about Gyokeres from their time together at Sporting and waits in the wings to Pounce, after he has lost Liam Delap to Chelsea.
