Benjamin Sesko deal, Semenyo agreement, Tierney out”, Dream Arsenal line up once the January transfer is completed – As Arteta set to Make three changes to the attacking line
Arsenal’s interest in RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko has been kindled, as there are questions in the Emirates about Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres.
-Attempting to nab the young Slovenian from the Bundesliga outfit, the Gunners had wanted to make him part of their squad at the end of last summer.
The 21-year-old was said not to be keen on sitting back and watching Kai Havertz rule. He was troubled that he might be falling to the status of second choice.
Instead of signing up with the aforementioned Isak and Gyokeres, Arsenal has made their 대진표 advancement to the Daily Mail stipulation that the Gunners would not be looking at signing either of them.
The spending by Mikel Arteta’s team would probably wait for the close of the season to acquire a major striker.
He played 75 games for Sporting CP with 70 goals and 20 assists but is viewed as too young by Arsenal. He will be 27 in June.
Isak’s name has been in the air as a major target of the club for a considerable duration but the Gunners are said to have apprehension regarding his upcoming short-term injury problems.
Arsenal are therefore reported to be so wary of acquiring him since their high-pressing game could result in the Swede picking up more injuries with them in future.
This, in all practicality, leaves the Gunners ready to advance on Sesko for next summer.
Sesko would be a perfect fit with his age and massive potential, as the Salzburg graduate had an excellent first year with Leipzig (18 goals and two assists).
He has started this campaign with a bang, recording 10 goals and three assists to date.
His equally comparable goal total to Havertz at Arsenal comes with a much higher ceiling for the Slovenian, who is four years younger.
While Sesko has the aerial presence of Havertz up front, he is better because he brings tireless high pressing.
To date, the Slovenian has scored 20 percent of his shots, much better than the overall German rate of 14.
He is endowed with an extraordinary ability to shoot with extreme power and knows neither foot in scoring.
One of such is Bundesliga.com, which calls Sesko ‘exciting’, and he will actually make a very exciting coup for Arsenal.
Transfermarkt values him at 41.5 million pounds, but Arsenal are definitely expected to pay a much higher price.
However, Leipzig voided the £55m release clause from his contract following the renewal, and they will be in a very good bargaining position for his services.
