According to reports, Arsenal have their eye on RB Leipzig's talented young striker, Benjamin Sesko, as they prepare for the upcoming summer transfer window. However, there are some concerns within the club about whether or not to make a move for the 21-year-old.
Last summer, Sesko was at the top of Mikel Arteta's list of desired attackers, but he ultimately chose to stay with RB Leipzig for another season. Despite this, Sesko has continued to impress this year with an impressive 21 goals in all competitions, making him a strong contender for Arsenal's striker shortlist.
But, it seems that Arsenal will not be the only ones vying for Sesko's signature. Both Manchester United and Chelsea are also expected to show interest in the Slovenian international, making the competition for him even tougher.
In addition to Sesko, Arsenal is also reportedly interested in Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres. Rumors are circulating that the club has even submitted a whopping €75 million bid for the striker. This news comes from reports in Portugal this weekend, which state that Arsenal's sporting director, Andrea Berta, is a huge fan of Gyokeres.
However, there are also reports that Arsenal has some reservations about signing Sesko. The Athletic's David Ornstein has stated that the club is still actively searching for a number nine, but with limited options in the market, they may have to consider other options.
One of those options is Alexander Isak, who has been on the club's radar for some time now. However, Ornstein believes that it may not be a realistic option for Arsenal due to the high demand for the young striker. He also mentions Newcastle's Ruben Amorim as a potential alternative, but acknowledges that there is a lot of interest in the player from other clubs as well.
Aside from their search for a striker, Arsenal is also looking to strengthen their wide position. Names like Nico Williams, Anthony Gordon, Antoine Semenyo, and Rafael Leao have all been linked to the club, although it is unclear how much truth there is behind these rumors.
In midfield, Arsenal is set to bring in Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad, which will add depth to their squad. However, they are also looking to extend Thomas Partey's contract, although there is some uncertainty surrounding whether or not an agreement will be reached. As a result, the club is keeping an eye on potential alternatives for the Ghanaian midfielder.
On the defensive front, Arsenal is interested in Bournemouth's Dean Huijsen to bolster their backline. And with Kieran Tierney potentially leaving, they may also need to bring in a new left-back. Oleksandr Zinchenko, who has just one year left on his contract with Manchester City, is reportedly available for transfer and could be an option for the Gunners.
In the end, it is clear that Arsenal has a lot of work to do in the upcoming transfer window. With a number of areas to address and competition from other clubs, it will be a challenging task for Arteta and his team. But, as always, the Gunners are determined to strengthen their squad and push for success in the upcoming season.
