In addition to another well-known striker on their radar, Arsenal's sporting director Andrea Berta is in "direct contact" with RB Leipzig as the Gunners contemplate signing Benjamin Sesko.

This summer, Arsenal is focused on acquiring a top-tier striker who can lead the scoring charts and propel the team to the Premier League championship, and their pursuit is well under way.

According to reports, new transfer head Berta has decided that his two main targets are Sporting CP goal machine Viktor Gyokeres and 21-year-old star Sesko. 

As Arsenal considers a proposal for Sesko, Berta has met with officials of RB Leipzig, according to trustworthy journalist Florian Plettenberg. 

Arsenal, under Andrea Berta, is concentrating on two elite strikers: Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko." Plettenberg shared anything on X.

Berta and Marcel Schäfer, the head of RB Leipzig, have recently communicated directly to discuss Sesko in order to comprehend the terms of a possible contract, including the release clause and other specifics. 

Both transactions would be very costly. Sesko must be sold by RB in order to make money. The owner and Mikel Arteta are huge admirers of the player.

Arsenal had to decide between Gyokeres and Sesko.

Sesko's representation were contacted directly by Arsenal to determine whether the player would be interested in moving to the Emirates, according to a report published on April 12 by Rudy Galetti, the Sportmoment transfer correspondent.

The Slovenian international, who has scored 21 goals this season, is open to joining the Gunners as club-to-club negotiations with Leipzig are now underway. 

With a current deal with RB Leipzig that runs through 2029, Sesko has a €80 million (£67 million) release clause. 

Arsenal is seriously considering investing in a young striker with great potential, and Sesko definitely fits their idea," according to Galetti's report. 

In any event, the English club is prepared to match his fee if the negotiations go well and takes into account the player's "real" worth.

It's no secret that Arsenal is interested in Gyokeres. With an amazing 96 goals in 101 appearances for Sporting, the former Coventry City player has caught the attention of several elite teams. 

On May 20, Fraser Fletcher, a sports transfer insider, revealed that Arsenal had made further moves to acquire the striker.

We are aware that Gyokeres' adaptability is the reason Mikel Arteta admires him. 

Capable of leading the line or dropping deeper to create, the Sweden international matches the characteristics of a modern forward who can thrive in Arsenal’s fluid style.

Gyokeres is amenable to a move to the Emirates Stadium, according to sources close to the midfielder who spoke to Thesportmoment. 

The idea of playing in the Premier League and contending for trophies under Arteta is alluring to the striker.

According to several journalists and commentators, Liverpool is "close" to reaching a personal terms deal to recruit Marc Guehi. However, the Reds have been cautioned that the acquisition of the England player may mean the exit of an Arne Slot favourite. Even though the Premier championship champions won the championship by a margin of ten points during Slot's first season as manager, the Dutchman is still going after the transfer market this summer.  Milos Kerkez will join Giorgi Mamardashvili (who signed a deal last summer), Jeremie Frimpong, Armin Pecsi, and Florian Wirtz as new Liverpool players after his transfer to the club was finalised and an announcement is anticipated soon.

After a surprising Serie A team approached for the services of undesired winger Antony, Manchester United's ambitions of starting a bidding war over him are gaining momentum. Fabrizio Romano has also made it clear where the Brazilian sees himself next season. The 16-time Brazil captain hardly ever gave the Manchester United supporters any proof of why Erik ten Hag had persuaded the board to pay the second-highest sum in the club's history for the winger when he went from Ajax in the summer of 2022. It was not surprising when the Red Devils let him go after he had a dismal return of 17 goal contributions (12 goals, five assists) in 96 appearances. He spent the final half of the 2024–25 season on loan at Real Betis. However, the player's confidence was greatly boosted by the move to La Liga, and Antony found a manager in Manuel Pellegrini who could bring his hidden brilliance to light.  With 14 goals in just 26 games for the Andalusian team, he helped lead Los Verdiblancos to...
