Arsenal are currently in talks with both Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko, a clear indication that the club have yet to finalise their decision on who will lead their attack next season. Given the stature and market value of both strikers, it is highly unlikely that the Gunners will sign them both during the current transfer window.
Gunners Weigh Options Between Gyokeres and Sesko
Despite the financial impracticality of bringing in two marquee forwards, Arsenal appear intent on thoroughly evaluating both options before committing. Gyokeres has been in exceptional form since joining Sporting Club and has quickly established himself as one of the most prolific forwards in Europe. His consistent performances and physical presence make him a formidable attacking threat.
On the other hand, Sesko’s appeal lies in his youth and potential. The RB Leipzig striker is still developing but has already demonstrated attributes that suggest he could evolve into one of the world’s elite forwards. Arsenal’s interest in Sesko is reflective of their long-term strategy, which has often included investing in young talent and nurturing them into world-class performers.
Arsenal Aim to Avoid Missing Out Entirely
According to Sport Witness, Arsenal are currently engaged in discussions with the representatives of both players. The club are attempting to keep both avenues open in order to avoid a scenario where they lose out on both targets. This dual-track negotiation strategy underlines the importance the Gunners are placing on securing the right striker for the coming campaign.
Either player would represent a significant addition to Mikel Arteta’s squad, and supporters are likely to be satisfied with the acquisition of either. Nevertheless, the differing profiles of Gyokeres and Sesko may require tactical adjustments within the squad to maximise the impact of whichever forward is ultimately signed.
Arsenal’s thorough approach in this transfer pursuit highlights their commitment to making the right choice, and the final decision could play a pivotal role in their ambitions for next season.

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 like Sesko’s aerial dominance and willingness to shoot from outside the box but if we go for him we still lack a penalty box predator. Maybe also bringing in Jonathan David now on a free and selling Jesus (in Jan when recovered) could be a shrewd bit of business.
Or if we go for Gyokeres (who is a great poacher) it may be wise to aim for Leao as the LW, as he can operate with a glimmer of what Isak has and bring what Gyokeres lacks in terms of carries, footwork etc.
One things for sure, its not even June and the summer transfer window could be torturous for some of us!
Sesko is my preference both are high risk having not played in the physicality of EPL…but Sesko edges it, better, plays in top 5 league and younger….
Sesco for me
Prefer Sesko for his youth and potential,and also had hopes of us chasing Hugo Ekitike,he can play on the wings too.
This is a smart move, street craft at it’s best.
What a spanking the Italian club endure from the one league club.
No team could ever hand Arsenal such a drubbing in Europe elite competition final, not under the gaffer dead body, there is a genuine feeling how close Arteta had taken the North London outfit.
A keep telling fans , had Gabriel Magahlase remained fit the Narrative would have been completely different
…and that’s always been our Arsenal’s story, season after season. Only if so and so remained fit, or not injured. We are the unluckiest team, let alone the unwarranted hate&banter we are subjected to.
The team had a great run in CL and second place in PL with the actual available players, it’s an achievement.
We need to focus on these injuries- solving them would be the best transfer 😀
Let’s check what others are doing differently (Liverpool?)
As for the hate, it is actually a good sign, who hates Southampton? :))
1. If it wasn’t for Partey in the first leg, we would have gone past PSG
2. If it were not for Gabirel’s absence through injury ……
3. If it were not for the many other injuries like Harvetz …..
4. ……….
Did we seriously expect to win the UCL with just a pile of defenders? And with players we one time claim are key in a particular position and we are so endlessly experimenting with them all over the pitch?
As a Arsenal fan and a very committed follower from Africa-Kenya, Arsenal needs a higher profile striker and not only one. Money should not be the issue. We can’t afford not to see both victor and sesko in our squad next season
We need 2 Strikers to break the low blocks and defence of opposition who rely on counter attacks. Wenger had 4 Strikers at hand Henry Berkamp Kanu Wiltord Reyes I could go on.Berta is bringing Alethico to Arsenal. Atlethico always have aWet least 3 Strikers. If We have Strikers to give us 30 goals this Season we would have won the league and probably Champions league.
For real. What serious top striker is moving to any club that has another top striker?
Someone has to give way for the other.
When Haaland shows up Gabriel Jesus has to leave. When Haaland shows up Julian Alvarez looks for another club.
Mbappe turns up and Rodrygo starts getting uncomfortable. Hence why he is open to a move away from Madrid.
When Calafiori shows up, Kiwior starts getting nervous and is open to looking elsewhere.
If Coutinho / Suarez show up, Sanchez has to find another club.
When Toni Kroos / Modric show up, Ozil, Di Maria etc have to find another club.
When Havertz shows up, Nketiah etc has to find another club.
When Merino shows up, ESR had to find another club.
And if we get either one of Sesko or Gyökeres then Gabriel or Havertz would be looking for different clubs by January or end of next season etc.
Jack Grealish is now weighing up his options with the nee midfielders Man City are bringing in etc..
It’s difficult to have two top players in the position at the same club as one will definitely feel like they are not prioritied.
Next season of we don’t get any injuries we will have White, Timber, Calafiori, Skelly, Kiwior, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchecko etc..
I can guarantee that a fee of them will not be happy and will be disgruntled. They might be asking for moves in January or end of the season.
Sign them both to ensure depth in the squad. We did well with both Lacazette and Aubemeyang…
SIGN THEM BOTH
Last time we had a player with at least 20 league goal was Auba in 19/20. It’s high time we had a high scoring attacker. Saka is currently the best we got with his current best of 16 goals. we need at least 2 of the front 3 to be high volume scorers to make the system work unless we have a scoring midfielder. Martinelli was supposed to be it but never developed enough.
I think we should go for either Sesko or Gyokere irrespective of their price. Arsenal, no excuse next season.
Over protection of Havertz can lead Arsenal to end up again without any meaningful CF buy. Havertz injury is the reason why Arsenal reached champions semi final as Merino managed to do well. Arteta not keen to push Lewis to the midfield as he wants to protect the overpaid player who has no place in the Arsenal revolution.
Get them both. We need 2 strikers. If you watches PSG Llast night you could see they were not really relying on one striker. Come on, don’t be stingy. We got enough players in the other departments except Frontline predators
Just sell Jesus and Harvtz and replace with sesko and victor. Sesko plays behide Apenda and can do so for now
I prefer Victor Geokeres, but if Arteta wants Sesko, let’s allow him. Do you know that 17 out of those goals Gyokeres scored were penalty goals? Again, he plays in Portuguese leagues, which can not be compared to the German Bundesliga. Again, Sesco is tall, taller than Halland, and very good in the air. He can score outside the box with both feet, and if in the Arsenal team and with our creative credentials, he can score many more goals. Benjamin Sesco is way younger, dynamic, and can dribble well, and his teamplay and link up play is quite good. Viktor Geokeres is very good too, but i feel the coach should have his way because he is the coach, and he is to be held liable for any mistakes and failures in the future and not the fans.
Buy both. We are tired of the draws. We need the goals. Two of them producing over 20goals per season can win the league and championship.
Gyokeres would a ideal choice for now and for the future, in as much as future is still in our control i suggest gyokeres would we be signed. Arsenal must act now and act quickly
