Arsenal are locked in negotiations to sign a hugely talented striker this summer.

The Gunners have had a brilliant campaign. They are still in with a chance – albeit a small one – to win the Premier League title on the final day of the season.

Irrespective of where they finish in the table, Arsenal are expe𒀰cted to make some big moves this summer. A new striker is said to be on the agenda, and some exciting news has just emerged for Gunners fans.

Arsenal are in advanced talks to sign Benjamin Sesko

Arsenal have a terrific squad right now thanks to Mikel Arteta.

T꧒he North 🅘Londoners have top-class players in almost every position on the pitch, and that is the reason why they have been pushing Manchester City for the Premier League title.

However, many people stil🔥l think Arsenal need to sign a prolific striker this 🌊summer.

Kai Havertz has done a really impressive job as a centre-forward this season, scoring seve♐n goals and providing seven assists in the 17 games he 𒀰has played up front.

Gabriel Jesus is ꦫa tremendous player too, but his goalscoring form hasn’t been great – he has found the net on just four occasions in the Premier League this season.

As a result, Arsenal have been l🍸inked with a numbღer of strikers since the turn of 2024, and have just shared an exciting update on RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko.

The Gunners have been rumoured to be interested in the 2ღ0-year-old Slov𓂃enia international for quite some time now. He is one of the most talented young stri✅kers in Europe.

Now, the report claims that Arsenal are at ‘an advan🌱ced stage in their talks’ with Sesko to bring him to t♓he Emirates Stadium this summer. A four-year contract with an option to extend that by another 12 months is being discussed.

It has been revealed that the RB Leipzig man is ‘prioritising a move to Arsenal’ eve𓃲n though AC Milan are interested in him. Chelsea too could make a move to sign Sesko if their attempt to land Victorཧ Osimhen fails.

The report claims that the st♌riker has a release clause in his contract that makes him available for €50 million (£42.8m) in this summer’s transfer window.

Sesko, who is still only 20, has been compared to Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland by the .
