Arsenal appear to be stepping up their transfer activity before that transfer window opens, with key rivals already moving quickly to secure new signings. The Gunners are entering a crucial summer in which squad reinforcement is essential if they are to challenge for silverware next season.
Arsenal accelerate Sesko pursuit amid mounting pressure
With their season having concluded without a trophy, Arsenal can focus fully on their recruitment plans. Their lack of early movement in the market had raised concerns, particularly as other clubs have begun finalising deals. However, it now appears that the Gunners are becoming more proactive.
According to Sky Germany, Arsenal have renewed their interest in Benjamin Sesko and are making serious efforts to secure his signature. The striker, currently at RB Leipzig, was linked with a move to the Emirates last summer but opted to stay in Germany for another season. That decision looks set to change, with the player now open to a transfer.
The report notes that Andrea Berta is leading direct talks on behalf of Arsenal in their negotiations with the player. These discussions have commenced, and there is a desire from the club to complete the deal quickly to avoid being outmanoeuvred by rival suitors.
Sesko’s profile fits long-term goals
Arsenal’s pursuit of a striker is no secret, and it is widely believed that they will not let the summer pass without adding a new forward to their squad. #Sesko is regarded as a talent with significant long-term value, offering a blend of physicality and technical ability that could be moulded under Mikel Arteta.
There are arguments to be made for other targets, such as Viktor Gyokeres, who is considered more immediately ready to contribute at the top level. However, Sesko’s potential may align more closely with Arsenal’s vision for sustained growth and future competitiveness.
The need for decisive action is evident. Arsenal supporters are growing increasingly impatient for the club to take the final step and secure trophies. The coming weeks will show whether the Gunners’ renewed efforts in the transfer market are enough to turn potential into success.

The problem is, any new striker coming in will have Berta name printed in their back
While I understand Sesko’s profile fits the clubs long term goals, the club is crying out for a striker that can deliver now, not just in the future.
Yes I totally agree. Havertz is more of a similar profile to desks so why have similar kind of players and not Gyekores who seems to be in the mould of Aguero. Sometimes, it’s just so tough to understand the choices we make as a club moving forward.
All rumors, no action, same old story
Totally agree regarding player profile. Gyockeres is the ideal alternative center forward, if Isak is not available.
Whether Sesko or Gyokeres, I pray we make this a quick transfer saga for once!
It’s a big embarassment they are going for Sesko rather than a ready-made striker. It just doesn’t sound right. I’m yet to see a single fan who is for this.
Throughout Arteta’s tenure, every time the fan base has objected to a signing, it has turned out to be a disaster. I believe this signing will kick Arteta out of Arsenal when he is once again unable to deliver at the end of the campaign next year. The general cry is for Gyokeres. Why not listen to the voice of the people?
@Atangana, like you have indicated, the signing can kick Arteta out of Arsenal. So he cannot listen to the voice of the people when it is him getting kicked if he does not deliver.
Having said that, he needs to make his signings this coming season or else it will be justified if he looses his job.
If he buys Sesko instead of Gyokeres, I hope for his sake and the Arsenal in general that it works. We have to win The League or Champions league.
I just have this feeling that Liam Delap is the next Harry Kane.
I think he will explode in a better team with world class attacking midfielders.
I know he might not be that instant fix that we need, but I would just hate to see him tearing it up for a team like spuds in a few years time!
