🚨 BREAKING: ARSENAL SEAL BLOCKBUSTER SIGNING ✅🚨 Arsenal have officially completed the signing of a former Ballon d’Or winner! The deal was finalized overnight, with the club’s owner now in London to personally unveil the superstar. His jersey number has already been assigned, and his medical is set to take place within the next few hours. BIG NEWS FOR THE GUNNERS 🔥🎉 Arsenal fans, we’ve now got a World Cup champion in our squad!

Arsenal are actively working on securing a new striker as this summer’s transfer window approaches. Their intent is clear — they’re seeking a reliable goalscorer who can deliver consistently in the final third, something that’s been sorely lacking in recent times.

 

Last season’s numbers paint a concerning picture. The Gunners found the back of the net just 69 times in the Premier League — a significant drop of 22 goals compared to the campaign before. This sharp decline in attacking output has prompted serious reflection at the top of the club.

 

The absence of a true star striker has hindered Arsenal’s progress. The club’s decision-makers are now under pressure to solve this issue quickly, with expectations high that the transfer window will be used to correct the imbalance.

 

Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri has reported that Arsenal have begun talks with RB Leipzig about a possible deal for Benjamin Sesko. However, the North London outfit are also exploring other avenues, ensuring they have backup plans in case the Sesko negotiations hit a wall.

 

Though discussions with Sesko are ongoing, an agreement on personal terms hasn’t yet been reached. Meanwhile, Viktor Gyokeres has apparently already offered a verbal commitment to join Arsenal, giving the club another strong option if Sesko falls through.

 

Sesko remains a priority. Arsenal had an eye on him last summer but were thwarted when he extended his stay with Leipzig. Now, they’re back in for the 21-year-old after a season where he notched 21 goals — not world-class numbers, but enough to hint at a player with high upside.

 

Leipzig are reportedly willing to let Sesko go for £67 million — his full release clause — but Arsenal prefer to stretch payments over time. This strategy would help them stay financially compliant and leave room for other major investments in the squad.

 

Should the Sesko pursuit collapse once again, Gyokeres is waiting in the wings. Sporting CP’s star striker netted a jaw-dropping 54 goals last season, and sporting director Andrea Berta is a known admirer. Still, there are questions about how well the Swede would fare in the Premier League, especially given his age and the tactical differences he’d face at Arsenal. Sporting are willing to let him go for £59 million if Arsenal choose to make that move.
