Mikel Arteta is desperate for reinforcements at Arsenal, as the squad’s depth dwindles and their Premier League title hopes fade.
This was evident in Saturday’s frustrating 2-2 draw with Aston Villa, where they blew a two-goal lead. A striker tops the Gunners’ wish-list, with Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres frequently mentioned.
With Arsenal trailing Liverpool by six points – and the Reds having a game in hand – they need to nail this transfer window. And the Gunners are reportedly preparing a whopping £70m bid for RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko.
The Sun suggests that the 21-year-old Slovenian international could leave the Bundesliga side this summer, but Arsenal might make an offer this month.
Sesko was on Arsenal’s radar last summer, but he signed a new long-term contract with Leipzig, eliminating the much-discussed £55m release clause that several Premier League clubs were rumoured to be interested in, reports the Mirror.
