Arsenal will continue to be linked with strikers ahead of the summer transfer window, even with Kai Havertz currently impressing in Mikel Arteta’s attack.

The Gunners finished last season with Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah in attack, sparking rumours of a big summ💃er move for a striker.

Instead, Arsenal invested in Kai Havertz, a player who could feasibly play in midfield, up front and even out wide if Mikel Arteta felt that way inclined.

H🧸avertz is currently featuring as Arsenal’s main striker a🐻nd the results have been pretty impressive; Havertz has hit five goals and four assists in his last 10 Arsenal games.

The German is making a real impact but Arsenal but the Gunners will continue to look at potential at♏tacking additions – especially with Nketiah surely seeking first-team action elsewhere.

Links to Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen have slowed down in recent times and Edu’s rumoured to🐻p target is featuring over in Germany.

Benjamin Sesko value rising amid Arsenal chase

Reports in March suggested that 𒈔Arsenal’s new to🐭p target is RB Leipzig hitman Benjamin Sesko.

The Slovenian striker in 2022, but remains with Red Bull𒉰 Salzburg for last season.

Now in his first Bundesliga campaign, Sesko has hit eight goalꦯs in 25 games, starting just 12.

The 20-year-old is clearly raw but full of potential and Arsenal may well believe that he can ♈become an absolute superstar in North 🌟London.

now suggest that Sesko’s value has risen to €78mꦺillion (£64million), using their own statiღstical model.

They calculate that Sesko꧟’s markeꦏt value has risen by €31million since October, summing up his huge potential.

Sesko release clause

That is especially interesting because Sesko caꦚn bꦦe signed for much, much cheaper this summer.

Sesko is understood to have a £43million ꦫrelease clause in his contract and Arsena🎃l can ac꧑tivate that deal if they so wish.

That is £21million short of Sesko’s true worth, at least according to CIES, 🦹and may represent something of a bargain for Arsenal.

Edu will be well aware of𝕴 that release clause and may be consideri💦ng activating it and adding the 6ft 5in giant to the Gunners ranks.

Havertz’s h🔴eight has given Arsenal a new dimension this season and t♈he Gunners may see Sesko in a similar light.

Sesko has superb pace as well though, meaning he would not only give A💙rsenal a threat in the air, but also in behind defences.

That blend makes Sesko so exciꦗting𓂃 and Arsenal may see that release clause as great value this summer.
