Arsenal is closing in on a major move for Benjamin Sesko as they look to complete a deal early in the transfer window. The Gunners have been actively working behind the scenes to secure the signing of a top striker, and Sesko has emerged as their most likely target.
Over the past few months, Arsenal has held discussions with the camps of both Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres. While the two forwards differ in age and experience, the club has identified them as ideal options to lead their line next season.
Arsenal prepared to pay premium for top striker
Although either striker would cost a significant amount, Arsenal appears ready to spend heavily to get their top choice. A report on Caught Offside suggests the Gunners expect the final cost of a deal for Sesko to be more than €70 million, with negotiations now moving towards an agreement worth around €100 million.
This shows how serious the club is about upgrading its attacking options ahead of the new campaign. Arsenal have performed well in recent seasons but are still missing a clinical forward to make the difference in tight matches, particularly in Europe.
Sesko is widely regarded as one of the most promising young strikers in European football, and Arsenal believes he has the potential to become a key part of their project. His physical attributes, technical ability and eye for goal make him a strong fit for the Premier League and Mikel Arteta’s system.
A statement signing to lead the line
The signing of Sesko would send a clear message about the club’s ambition heading into the new season. With other top teams also strengthening their squads, Arsenal knows it must act decisively if it wants to compete for major honours.
Sesko would be a fine addition to our squad, and the reality is that top talent does not come cheap. If Arsenal want to land a striker who can make an instant impact, they will need to invest heavily, and this deal shows they are prepared to do just that.

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…
Stop all these wavering about. Arsenal is acting like they never had any layed down plans and just make it up as they go along. What ever happens the fans will hold you to account when eventually Liverpool wins the tittle again
Arsenal must make Sesko signing happen this summer. This idea of dithering, dilly-dally and haggling over player’s valuation is very irritating to me. Man City and Liverpool who are our rivals have better squad and squad depth than us, yet, they have started buying quality players. As a matter of fact, Man City have already signed four quality players including that young player(Npan from Norway) that Arsenal have been courting for long.
The Kronkes and Arsenal board should stop being stingy and buy quality players promptly that can improve the squad. Winning trophies will make our best players to stay and at the same time make our supporters worldwide proud and happy.
Arsenal owner is the main problem, we fans should have take note of this since the man said it long time ago that he does not buy arsenal stake to win trophies, an his doing according to what he said, our fans should stop buying tickets or supporting the club for now we can can’t continue like this, let the owner ready to back the club or sell the club if not nothing for us
You agree with
In total agreement with you. Just buy, strengthen the team & win . Win,win.
Why did Arsenal not go already for Osimhen last summer? Simple answer Arteta can’t handle big personalities! Guen anyone?
Arsenal’s most important signing will not happen this summer, a competent manager that deserves a big club like Arsenal, instead we have to put up with this apprentice of a manager that has learned in the last 4 years on the job how to bottle it. Starting with Conte beating us to the CL spot.
There were quite a few clubs last summer that need a striker, but none of them went for Osimhen. Going on your theory the only one that can handle a player with a big personality would be the Head Coach of Galatasary.
That makes no sense
Quite a few clicks needed a striker but none went for him ?
Apart from …..Galatasary lol
That’s not none
Foolishly wasting time and pinching pennies when time is of the essence is the Arsenal Way. When you come to the dance late, you end up alone on the dance floor. Never forget the fiasco bid for Liverpool’s Luis Suarez of 40,000,000+1 pound equaled nothing.!
So much money. Even 70m is crazy if you look at the record. Havertz was less expensive despite being more successful in Germany (yes he played for a better team, but you can only go on what he did – sesko might not have been a starter in his team) and is a champions League winner. Plus he’d played in England for years, so at least arteta et al knew better what they were actually getting.
I hope it works out if we get him – of course it might, but that much money increases the pressure massively (it’s not fair on him, but unfortunately that’s unavoidable). If he doesn’t hit the ground running and play consistently very well in his first season, questions will be asked, and it will make it harder and harder for him to get going. I would not take the risk if it were up to me – I do think risk taking is good and necessary to be successful, but I see this as irresponsible tbh.
Sesko would be a dream signing and the perfect one for Arsenal. Hope it works out.
Don’t spend any more time on Sesko negotiations. Far too expensive for a 21-year-old, who we don’t even know if he will be able to make it in the Premier League. Time spent on the Sesko deal has now ruined 2-3 transfer windows for Arsenal, who have always hoped to the end that a deal would go through. But in vain. IMO, I have to say: Enough is enough. Move on to other striker targets, who we know can score goals. Gyokeres, Osimhen, Jaoe Pedro …..
Arsenal is starting to raise my blood pressure again with this their “motion without movement”. Very frustrating remaining a Fan.
The biggest issues with Arsenal is luck of seriousness and I believe Arteta and co differ in decision. He needs Sesko who’s not ready yet the sporting director wants a ready player in the name of Gokeres. We are finished. The same fight between him and former director.
Arsenal with this their frustrating transfer, bidding for player for too long and later not ending in the squad because of their carelessness, I’m getting sick of this their petty negotiation and don’t even want to be interested in their transfer saga make decision and be quick about it
Late signing every time that’s why they end up signing players like Rarhim stering
