Arsenal’s summer transfer window has not been off to a favourable start. But Arsenal fans can still have high hopes for this summer’s transfer business, and here’s why: The club did not hesitate after Benjamin Sesko elected to stay at RB Leipzig, perhaps because it did not significantly impair their summer preparations.
We wanted to enhance our offensive capabilities, and Sesko presented a valuable opportunity in the market. However, with Havertz’s revival, a striker swoop is not a deal worth buying at any cost.
The club now has a long-standing relationship with Sesko’s entourage and may return for the Slovenian in the future if things are favourable.
Interestingly, according to Give Me Sport, there is still optimism about the striker search this summer. They claim the North Londoners has been monitoring Viktor Gyökeres, Joshua Zirkzee, and Evan Ferguson, but has taken no concrete steps thus far. Clearly, the club wants to add number 9, but if no one is available this summer, Arsenal is willing to wait until Summer 2025 for “the right person at the right time” with more possibilities.
We had an eye on Douglas Luiz earlier, but it looks like we have moved on from him; we are no longer in negotiations; the deal only revolves around Aston Villa and Juventus; it appears that we prefer another midfielder like Martin Zubimendi.
Gooners can find solace in the knowledge that Arsenal will not make rash purchases to add new players; instead, they aim to acquire the right players for the right reasons and with the right quality to compete for the Premier League title.
Clearly we reached the end of the era of rushed recruitment. So let us be patient; the summer isn’t even halfway through June, but there’s still plenty of time to complete the plan, and the Arsenal team has demonstrated they’re doing it right.
Let’s just let Arteta and Edu do their job…

ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
CALLING ALL ARSENAL FANS! Anyone who would like to contribute an Article or Video opinion piece on JustArsenal, please contact us through this link…
I believe the signing of the new CF would depend on Jesus’ departure, because I don’t think Jesus would be willing to play winger or second fiddle to the new target man
As for Zubimendi or another new CDM, maybe he’ll compete with Jorginho and Rice might play the left-sided AM role more often
make no mistake Rice is a fixture at #8, that is the growth and progression both player and club wanted
zero chance going back to #6 unless injury crisis and we screw up summer recruitment
I hope so, because Partey/ Jorginho are better playmakers in the CDM position and Rice’s energy/ movement are better suited for the box-to-box role
But it means Smith-Rowe, Vieira and other AMs must be satisfied with being a backup for the left-sided AM position
Wake up. Gabriel Jesus is going Nowhere. Arteta knows his quality. We will sign a striker to replace Nketiah.
The technical brilliance of Jesus is super important for Arsenal. It will be really poor of Arsenal to sell Gabriel Jesus knowing the quality he brings. I hope we sign up to 3 quality players to replace Nketiah, Nelson , Elneny and Sambi
I don’t think fans are impatient. It’s the Euros right now, they know that we don’t only negotiate with club but the player too and sometimes this can take a while. Also many transfers take place at the beginning and end of the transfer window. Also fans don’t want us to rush too fast into a transfer and get the wrong player.
Arsenal we need to tidy up house first. Some players need to be sold, some academy players need to be promoted. I would give Viera another chance as he created the most big chances out of any other Arsenal player last year, that could have easily been turn to assists had our strikers been more clinical.
Timber may slot in at leftback or surprise us all and become our new defensive midfielder as he seems to cover a lot of ground with abundance of energy and skill.
Then we need to add at least one exciting player and one clinical finisher and a defensive midfield if not converting Timber or Zinchenko or promoting Myles Lewis Skelly.
Otherwise the 3 new buys in WIRTZ, Olise and Fortana.
Just don’t go sign avearge players that would be struggling. We need first 2 really performing midfielders taht can allow Rice to play as 8 because he is very agressive and produces good results there as well as when he plays 6.
Why would Jesus refuse to play as a winger? He himself has said he’s not a good 9
Last minute buy you mean abi?
All season we were not able to identify a clear target. Always linked to every player in the market but buys none.
From prizing like to buy creyfish to buying none.
Go in, buy your man, but no.
Release fee is £30m. Why start prizing £5m. It’s so annoying.
Sooo annoying
This is a totally delusional article, many of which I have been seeing from brainwashed Arsennal sites.
The reality is we have won NOTHING.
The Kroeknes are once again taking money out of the club.
They have won nothing apart from FA cup, which was Emery team.
The lack of ambition from these owners and from tje fans is frightening. We were comfortably second best this year whilst Cityhately got out of 2nd gear.
We were atrocious in the CL, FA and Caraboa cup.
Where is all this bravado coming from.
Havertz signing directly coat us the PL and now people are saying he is the answer. He will never win us the PL or CL as main striker.
We need two strikers, a RW, two midfielders, and beast. Defender.
This is after 720m spend ..its.simply not good enough and Arsenal fans need to Wake up…we are miles off it
Free, I would like to see your source, if there is one, that says the Kroenkes are taking money out of the club.
Another delusional fan or an imposter..😎😎
If arsenal wants to sign good midfielders they should look at the likes of Onana, Teun Koopmeiners and Fofana these will be the best midfield players arsenal can get Zubimendi nor Luiz wouldn’t be coming to arsenal,Kai Havertz should play as a striker, and i think Jesus wouldn’t complain as is back up.
It’s delusional to say havertz cost us the league, I mean how? Do we need a new striker? Yes. Are we a little slow at the market? Yes, but being fast in the transfer market doesn’t automatically means success either. We can’t afford mistakes when it comes to recruiting, not anymore, which is why the club is bidding their time looking for players that suits our system
When have Arsenal ever rushed their recruitment, except for Harvetz and some shady deals such as Patrick Viera, we’ve always been agonisingly slow to get things signed sealed and delivered.
