Arsenal could sign £40m striker this summer as well as Benjamin Sesko
Arsenal absolutely need a new striker this summer.
Indeed, Arsenal have had to use Mikel Merino up front as of late, and while Merino earned praise for his performance against Leicester City, he wasn’t close to being as effective against W🌼est Ham at the weekend.
Arsenal have been l♊ooking for a new str😼iker for a long time.
Alexander Isak is a dream target for Arsenal, while Arsenal bid for Ollie Watkins in the January transfer window.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are confident aboutꦉ signing Benjamin Sesko in the summer.
Speaking on KS1 TV, Steve Kay has been discussing Arsenal’s search for a new striker, and he says that the Gunners are still keen on Ollie Watkins due to Gabriel Jesus’ injury and they may sign him as well as Benjamin Sesko.
Arsenal may sign Ollie Watkins alongside Benjamin Sesko
Kay shared what he’s heard about Watkins𝓰 and Arsenal.
According to the journalist, Gabriel Jesus could actually be out of action until 2026, and tha🍒t means Arsenal are still keen on ꦜWatkins.
Arsenal’s interest in W🎐atkins apparently won’t affect Arsenal’s plans with Sesko, and both players couldꦆ end up being signed.
“Yeah, with Ollie Watꦜkins. I ha🐽d a conversation today with the main man, and Arsenal aren’t going away from Ollie Watkins.
“Because of the injury to Gabriel Jesus, he may not be expected back until possibly into 2026, maybe November, late, lat♒e. I’ve been told that Ollie Watkins is still on the agenda becauꦡse they need two strikers.
“That £40m w✤ill stay on the table and if Watkins is happy to come, he will come. I’ve also been told this will not affect going in for a main striker like a Sesko. It won’t be any more than £40m. £40m is the only number I know of, it may be a bit lower than that because it’s another year.”
Ollie Watkins compared to Benjamin Sesko and Kai Havertz
Arsenal could end up signing both Watkins and Sesko in the summer transfer window, and if both players come in, Mikel Arteta will have a big de൩cision to mak🗹e.
Indeed, if Watkins and Sesko both end up at Arꦏsenal, all of a sudden, t🍸he Gunners will have an abundance of solid attacking options.
Watkins a🐻nd Sesko are both top strikers, while K𝓰ai Havertz has received praise this season too.
Comparing the three playe🌞rs’ stats certainly makes for interesting reading.
| Ollie Watkins | Kai Havertz | Benjamin Sesko | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Games | 27 | 21 | 22 |
| Goals | 12 | 9 | 10 |
| Assists | 5 | 3 | 4 |
| Age | 29 | 25 | 21 |
Watkins is scoring more goals than his peers, but he is the oldest of the three players, so Mikel Arteta may want to invest more t🐲ime in the long-term, younger options.
Meanwhile, Havertz already knows A🐎rsenal’s system likꦐe the back of his hand, so the German remains the least risky option of the trio too.
Arsenal could well end up with three fantastic striker options next summer, and picking between꧋ the trio 🥂won’t be an easy task.
