Arsenal's Ambitious Striker Pursuit: Sesko and Gyokeres in the Crosshairs

Arsenal is making aggressive moves in the transfer market, actively pursuing top-tier strikers Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres to bolster their attacking options for the upcoming season. The club aims to add significant firepower, with both players identified as key targets to enhance Mikel Arteta's squad.

Arsenal's Striker Hunt Intensifies

Arsenal's pursuit of a new striker is a top priority this summer, with Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig and Viktor Gyokeres of Sporting Lisbon emerging as the primary candidates. While Sesko has reportedly been the subject of a £67 million bid from Arsenal, the Gunners are also exploring a potentially more cost-effective option in Gyokeres.

Arsenal has made "concrete contact" with RB Leipzig regarding Sesko.
Liverpool is also reportedly interested in Sesko.
Gyokeres's preference is a move to the Premier League.

Competition for Signatures

Arsenal faces stiff competition for both Sesko and Gyokeres. Liverpool is reportedly vying for Sesko's signature, while Atletico Madrid and Napoli have expressed interest in Gyokeres. Manchester United has also reportedly made initial contact regarding Gyokeres, despite their lack of Champions League football.

Gyokeres, when asked about a potential move to Arsenal, remained coy, stating, "We will see. Nobody knows anything yet. I wish I had a more fun answer, but that's all I can say for now."

Other Transfer Activities

Beyond the striker search, Arsenal is engaged in several other transfer dealings:

Martin Zubimendi: The Real Sociedad midfielder's move to Arsenal was widely considered a "done deal," but he recently denied taking a medical, leaving his future uncertain.
Myles Lewis-Skelly: Arsenal is working to secure a new long-term deal for the defender to fend off interest from Real Madrid.
Nuno Tavares: The defender's loan move to Lazio has been made permanent for £6.5 million, adding to Arsenal's transfer funds.
Konstantinos Karetsas: Arsenal is reportedly close to signing the Greek wonderkid midfielder from Genk in a deal that could reach £37.8 million, with a potential loan-back agreement.
Rodrygo: Arsenal is reportedly interested in the Real Madrid winger, who is also a target for Chelsea and Manchester City.
Morgan Rogers & Igor Paixao: These players have been identified as potential attacking targets, offering versatility and potentially more affordable options.

Arsenal's transfer window is shaping up to be a busy one as they aim to strengthen their squad across multiple positions to compete at the highest level.
