It is happening! Arsenal goes for crazy bid for peak target this January! To top it all, Arteta confirms entry to the race for Moscow’s £25M wonderkid. What’s more, Gabriel Jesus has revealed the secret plan with Martin Odegaard, for which Arsenal scored a hat-trick!
Arsenal are still busy looking about for a striker, which means that things are getting serious with the approach of January’s transfer window: attitudinal strengthening is needed.
Arsenal were always in the running for various forwards during the summer transfer window, but with Mikel Arteta not signing a new goalscorer as part of his squad, he was mostly forced to rely on Kai Havertz leading the line for most part of the season, while Gabriel Jesus recently reminded fans with a jaw-dropping hat trick taken straight against Crystal Palace.
However, as brilliant as Jesus is with Havertz trying his best, it does put pressure on the requirement of a more reliable and constant striker. With the finishing touches yet to be put to a title race, Arteta must make it a priority as he will be having a clinical finisher this winter for Arsenal to complete a different landmark.
Arsenal still keen on Benjamin Sesko transfer!
Arsenal made its best effort to sign him during the summer transfer window, but the young striker has chosen to remain at RB Leipzig.
Mikel Arteta is quite interested in the Slovenian forward. At just 21 years of age, Šeško has the full bag-slasher of clinical finishing, physical power, plus the pace with which he can terrify defenders.
Still, Arsenal are not throwing in the towel against them. According to reports by Daily Mail, Šeško is still a priority target for the Gunners. The club reportedly had talks regarding a potential transfer in the summer and also maintained continuous strong ties with his representatives, where they are invited multiple times at the Emirates.
However, a big stumbling block for Šeško was that he would not get to play first fiddle with Kai Havertz. That raised concerns about a move to North London, so instead, he decided to extend his contract with Leipzig. Yet Arsenal’s continuing interest suggests that the tale is far from over. With 28 for club and country last season, it’s not hard to see why the Gunners are keeping that door open for the future.
Therefore, it would be understandable for Benjamin Šeško to hesitate about joining Arsenal-not for any other reason than playing behind Kai Havertz or competing with a “fired-up” Gabriel Jesus for a spot that looks to be recaptured at all costs. After all, no striker wants to up and leave only to find himself most of the time on the bench.
For sure, competition should never deter a player of Šeško’s quality, and Mikel Arteta’s charisma and tactical vision could assure the Slovenian forward that opportunities are going to be there for him to show what he’s made of. If he performs, he could very well stake his claim as Arsenal’s main man up front.
The case for his potential transfer is only strengthened by Šeško’s current form, as he has already scored 10 goals in 22 matches for RB Leipzig, proving to be the one breaking boundaries at the level. If he backs himself up, then surely, a star at level would have no problems, where he could really thrive-the Premier League and grade at Arsenal.
The Gunners clearly play long-term. By building a good relationship with Šeško’s agents, they are making a good case to him about the Emirates being the perfect next step in his career. If Arsenal can make him believe in their vision, then he might just very well take the plunge.
