CONGRATS, ARSENAL FAM! 🎉🔥 A WORLD CUP CHAMPION HAS ARRIVED AT THE EMIRATES! 🔥🏆

Arsenal have officially sealed the deal for a £70 million-rated forward, locking in his services until 2028 after triggering his release clause. The announcement comes as a major win for Gunners fans, with the player set to undergo his medical today. After a somewhat toothless Premier League campaign—where Arsenal managed just 69 goals, a sharp drop from their previous season’s tally—the club’s need for a lethal striker became more urgent than ever.

 

This offensive shortcoming is seen as a primary reason Arsenal couldn’t push further in last season’s title race. With such an evident gap in firepower, the club’s upper management is determined to remedy the issue this summer. Arsenal’s focus has now zeroed in on bringing in someone capable of delivering consistently in front of goal, and the front office appears to be pulling multiple strings to make that happen.

 

Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri has reported that Arsenal have opened formal discussions with RB Leipzig over the acquisition of Benjamin Sesko. Though no personal terms have been ironed out yet, the club is taking parallel routes—working on other transfer options as a safeguard. The strategy is meant to avoid the risk of walking away from the window empty-handed if the Sesko deal collapses.

 

While Sesko remains the priority, Arsenal have received a verbal commitment from Viktor Gyokeres as an alternative solution. The Swedish striker, who has been setting goal records at Sporting CP, stands ready should the Sesko talks fall through again—just as they did last summer when the Slovenian chose to extend his contract with Leipzig instead.

 

Arsenal’s interest in Sesko hasn’t wavered. The 21-year-old striker scored 21 goals last season and, while not mind-blowing, his potential and technical range make him an attractive investment. With the ability to strike from distance and pose a threat outside the box, Sesko represents a different kind of weapon for Mikel Arteta’s arsenal. Leipzig are reportedly open to selling—if Arsenal meets his £67 million release clause.

 

However, financial prudence remains crucial. Arsenal are reportedly trying to stagger payments across a longer term to keep room in their budget. This approach is designed to allow for further marquee acquisitions without violating the Premier League’s strict Profit and Sustainability Rules.

 

Personal terms with Sesko still need to be sorted, and that’s the current obstacle between interest and execution. Should Sesko decline again, Arsenal will turn to their backup: Gyokeres. The club’s sporting director, Andrea Berta, is especially keen on the 26-year-old forward.

 

Gyokeres lit up the Primeira Liga with 54 goals in one season—a frankly outrageous number. Yet, there are lingering concerns about how well his style will translate to the more tactical and less open play of the English game. Arsenal’s attack won’t offer him constant space to break into, so his success may hinge on adapting to tight defensive setups. Sporting CP, meanwhile, have slapped a £59 million tag on his head, and Arsenal are ready to pounce if the Sesko saga ends in rejection once more.
