Celebrations erupt at The Emirates as Arsenal officially signs a world-class player for £45 million, who turned down a £30 million per year offer from Saudi Arabia.
Arsenal could potentially sign a striker for less than Benjamin Sesko’s £55 million release clause.
They have resumed negotiations with agents of a striker valued at £34 million to find a replacement for Sesko, who is strongly linked with the club.
Reports indicate Arsenal is a strong contender to sign Sesko, who scored 18 goals last season and has a £55 million release clause in his contract.
Top European teams are interested in Sesko, known for his prolific scoring.
While strikers like Victor Osimhen and Viktor Gyokeres are highly priced, Sesko, a 6’5″ center-forward, might be available for less.
Fabrizio Romano mentioned on the Here We Go podcast that Sesko is deciding whether to stay at RB Leipzig with a new contract or leave for a new experience.
He has declined lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia and is considering proposals from Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal.
Given the competition, Arsenal is exploring alternatives like Joshua Zirkzee of Bologna.
Despite reports that AC Milan is leading the race for Zirkzee, Arsenal has recently renewed negotiations with his representatives.
Zirkzee’s £34 million release clause makes him a viable option if Arsenal aims to outmaneuver Milan.
