🚨 REPORTS: Arsenal have struck an agreement for a £64.4 million signing, clearing the way for Manchester United to pursue a £68.3 million target. Arsenal are on the verge of sealing a €75 million deal for a center forward, with additional bonuses included. While both Arsenal and Man Utd are working to strengthen their attacking options, fresh updates indicate the Gunners have successfully reached an agreement.

Arsenal has struck an agreement for a signing worth £64.4 million, which effectively opens the door for Manchester United to go after a £68.3 million target of their own.

 

Both Premier League giants have been circling Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres, but the freshest updates show Arsenal edging away from that pursuit.

 

Arsenal and Man Utd are both hunting for extra firepower up front. For Arsenal, it’s all about finding a more clinical presence than Kai Havertz, whose performances haven’t fully convinced.

 

Meanwhile, United are desperate to move past the underwhelming duo of Hojlund and Zirkzee, whose combined tally of just 7 Premier League goals last season is frankly embarrassing for a club of their stature.

 

Although the Gunners were hot on Gyokeres’ trail, word is they’re now laser-focused on Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig instead.

 

Diario Sport claims Arsenal are close to securing Sesko on a deal totaling €75 million (£64.4m) plus performance-related add-ons, signaling a major shift in their transfer priorities.

 

The club originally had a verbal understanding in place for Gyokeres, but that collapsed when Sporting’s president, Federico Varandas, made the negotiations painfully complicated.

 

As Arsenal zeroes in on Sesko, United suddenly have a clear runway to try and reunite Gyokeres with Amorim, but they’ll need to cough up €80 million (£68.3m) to make that happen—and given Gyokeres’ outrageous haul of 39 goals in 33 league games compared to Sesko’s modest 13 strikes, you can see why he’s worth every penny.
