It would surprise many if Arsenal did not buy a great striker this summer.
This season, Arsenal has been fantastic, but one issue — not being clinical — has been holding them back at times; it has cost them in games like versus Aston Villa (home and away) and Newcastle (home). The Gunners have done an excellent job of creating chances, but they have lacked the clinical player to convert them into goals. That cannot continue next season.
Speculation has it that Arsenal is already considering which No. 9 to sign this summer. A claim has just emerged suggesting that RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko could, in the end, be the answer to Arsenal’s striker search.
According to the Evening Standard, the Gunners are considering recruiting the Slovenian hitman. Two factors influence the North Londoners to want to sign him, according to the report. They appreciate his ability to also play out wide, and they believe his wage demands are lower than those of their other top targets.
Sesko is undoubtedly one of Europe’s most promising strikers this season. In 26 league appearances, he has nine goals and two assists. Last season, in his final full season with RB Salzburg, he scored 16 goals and assisted three times in 30 league appearances.
In the summer, Arsenal needs to add quality players to improve even further next season, and someone like Sesko may be the sensible option.

We are tired of Arteta’s penchant for average players! We cried that Gabriel Jesus is not the ideal striker to lead our attack but he still went for him. Now all sorts of players are being linked again, including Goykeres, Toney, Evanilson , Zickzee , Fugerson and this Sesko. Non of these players has what it takes to be a world class striker. The only player that came close is Isak.
However, Arsenal should prevent Atletico Madrid from increasing the 53 million pounds release clause of Samu Omorodion. This 6’4″ monster is a super talent with electric speed. We will also go for another twenty years super talent in Brazilian Nascimento who we understand 42 million pounds can get.
We have to sell both Gabriel Jesus and Trossard to raise money. I don’t see much in those players. Trossard occasionally do well but when he starts big games he disappears from the pitch.
We will also buy 22 years old Argentine Almada from Atlanta FC of USA for around 30m pounds to help our attacking midfield. Additionally, 12 million pounds rated David Odogu of Wolfsburg can deputise Saliba.
Nine goals and two assists are mundane fare I suggest.
It ought not to trumpeted as any reason to sign him. Whicb plainly we WONT!
