Transfer Rumour: Arsenal in the market for a new striker

-

Arsenal are ready to bring in new players and challenge again for major trophies next season.

The Gunners are set to advance their pursuit of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, with the £55 million attacker allegedly favouring a move to last season's Premier League runners-up.

Benjamin Sesko

European newspapers have reported that Arsenal scouts watched the Slovenian international during Leipzig's recent draw with Eintracht Frankfurt, aiming to gain an edge over rivals Chelsea, Manchester United, and Newcastle.

It is believed that Sesko impressed all those watching by scoring in his seventh consecutive Bundesliga match, firing a powerful shot into the Frankfurt net and bringing his season tally to 18 goals in all competitions.

Rumours suggest that Arsenal have been impressed by the Red Bull Salzburg graduate and are ready to increase their efforts. Mikel Arteta's side appears to have an advantage over Chelsea and Manchester United, as Sesko has expressed a preference for a move to the Emirates Stadium.

Why do Arsenal need Sesko?

Despite scoring the second-most goals in the Premier League last season with 91, Arteta's team, known for sharing the goalscoring burden, is still in need of a traditional centre-forward to elevate them from nearly men to champions.

Interest in Newcastle United's Alexander Isak has waned. It has also been reported that Arsenal admire Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus, Marcos Leonardo from Benfica, and Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres. Gyokeres, who scored an impressive 43 goals in his debut season at Sporting Lisbon in 2023/24, has a release clause of £86 million, making him quite expensive. Sesko's release clause, at around £55 million, is more manageable.

At only 20 years old, Sesko has significant potential for growth. Often compared to Erling Haaland, another product of the Red Bull system, his agent Elvis Basonovic is keen to highlight that Sesko is carving out his own path and making a name for himself.

What are the fans saying?

DJ, an Arsenal fan told us: "Despite our impressive goal tally in the Premier League, I believe we still need a traditional centre-forward to push us towards becoming Premier League champions. The losses to Aston Villa and Bayern Munich highlighted why a player like Sesko would be a great addition to the squad. "

Georgina, another Arsenal fan, added: "This would be the type of signing that elevates us to win the league. I really hope that there is truth in these rumours."

Sesko has also been linked with a move to Manchester United. 

Would he prefer a move to Old Trafford? Whatever happens, it promises to be a very interesting summer of transfer rumours. Stay tuned to European Super Football for all the latest news.

Borussia Dortmund 0- 2 Real Madrid Real Madrid overcame a formidable challenge from underdogs Borussia Dortmund to secure the Champions League title at Wembley. Carlo Ancelotti made history once again with his fifth win as a manager in the competition, while Real Madrid claimed their 15th title in typical fashion. They weathered a stormy first half and several missed opportunities from Dortmund before emerging victorious. A brief summary of the match Dortmund's Karim Adeyemi missed two chances in the first half, and striker Niclas Fullkrug struck the post. Real Madrid's recalled goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, was also a formidable barrier. As expected, Real Madrid upped the ante, with Dani Carvajal nodding in a header from a corner 16 minutes from time, followed by Vinicius Jr racing clear to add a second goal. This victory crowned a glorious first season at Real Madrid for Jude Bellingham, but it was a night of disappointment for Jadon Sancho, on loan to Dortmund from Manch

 Germany 5 - 1 Scotland There were six goals in the first game of Euro 2024. Unfortunately for Scotland, they only managed one. Pictures from the Euro 2024 Opening Ceremony The atmosphere at Allianz Arena was electric right from the start. Just ten minutes in, Florian Wirtz effortlessly found the net to open the scoring. Shortly after, Jamal Musiala unleashed a powerful shot that almost broke both Angus Gunn’s net and the hearts of the stunned Scottish fans behind the goal. Before half-time, Kai Havertz made it three from the penalty spot, following Ryan Porteous’ red card which left Scotland facing an uphill battle. Substitute Niclas Fullkrug added a fourth for Germany with a high shot into the net, though Antonio Rudiger’s late deflected own goal offered a glimmer of hope for Scotland. Their joy was short-lived, however, as Emre Can silenced the Scottish supporters deep into injury time. This result marked the biggest win in the opening game of a European Championships.  Euro 202

Italy 2 - 1 Albania Holders Italy overcome a huge scare from group outsiders Albania. Italy recovered from the shock of conceding the fastest goal ever scored at a European Championship to beat Albania 2-1 with Alessandro Bastoni and Nicolò Barella ensuring the defending champions made a winning start. Such a narrow margin of defeat may prove useful to Albania’s hopes of scraping third place in the group of death. They will almost certainly need to win their next game though. Not an easy task. Nedim Bajrami’s emphatic finish set a new record for the fastest goal in European Championship history, lifting the roof off a stadium that had never experienced anything like the Albanian influx, which kept the atmosphere electric throughout. Within 23 seconds, Bajrami ensured that this already intense occasion would go down in history. It was inevitable Albania would start aggressively, spurred on by a noisy support that filled at least three-quarters of the venue. Italy wasn't ready.
