Arsenal wants to add a top striker to their ranks this summer and it seems that they have finally decided who they canceled at Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres
Arsenal has reached an agreement with Benjamin Sesko about personal conditions while getting closer to a deal for the RB Leipziger in their search for a new striker.
The Gunners will sign a new NR .9 this summer in an attempt to finally win the Premier League title again and Sesko, 22, have identified as one of their top attacking goals. And although Sesko is expected to leave Leipzig this summer, Arsenal has also considered other players for the transfer window.
Viktor Gyokeres, 27, is another player who is loved by Arsenal, but talks about a deal for the sporty Lisbon star is currently considered 'on ice'.
And it has now been claimed by the German Outlet Sport Bild that Arsenal and Sesko 'have reached an agreement' when a deal comes closer.
Although Arsenal and Sesko may now have a household name, there is not yet an agreement between the club and Leipzig. However, it is claimed that the Gunners have indicated that they will offer an offer that will be 'in line' with the expectations of Leipzig, while they continue to negotiate a deal – with Leipzig who prepares to sell after missing the Champions League places.
But RBL does not let him leave cheaply. They want a lot of money, more than £ 60 million.
Mirror Football confirmed last week that Arsenal was striving for both Sesko and Gyokeres to keep their options open, while Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa – the subject of a rejected study in January – was still on the radar of the club.
Although the preferred movement of Gyoke would be Arsenal this summer, Sesko is another target in the long term and was strongly connected to a move last summer before signing a new contract in Germany.

Mikel Arteta is also known as a huge admirer of the former RB Salzburg-Man, who broke the barrier of 20 goals last season.
Gyokeres is also expected to be on the move this summer, although his lovers may have to pay a higher price than previously thought. It was reported that the Swede and Sporting Lisbon had a men's agreement that would see him for less than his release clause.
The Portuguese champions have refuted such claims, but with their president, Frederico Varandas, who even accuses the agent of Gyokeres of “playing games” about the asking price of the striker.
