00:00Arsenal are actively seeking to bolster their attacking options this summer, with a focus on securing a new striker.
00:09The Gunners have held discussions with RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko and Sporting Lisbon's Victor Jokeres, aiming to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
00:21Sesko 22 has demonstrated impressive potential at Leipzig, netting 39 goals over the past two seasons.
00:30Arsenal are reportedly negotiating a deal for the Slovenian forward, aiming to acquire him for around €65m to €70m, below his €80m release clause.
00:42Discussions are progressing and a deal could be finalised as early as mid to late June, when the transfer window opens.
00:49On the other hand, Jokeres, the 27-year-old, has been in prolific form, scoring over 97 goals in 102 appearances for Sporting Lisbon since his move from Coventry City in 2023.
01:02Despite initial interest from Arsenal, negotiations have become complicated due to a dispute over his transfer fee.
01:09Sporting Lisbon are seeking a bidding war, while Jokeres is aiming to manage his transfer more directly.
01:14This tension is expected to delay his potential move.
01:19In addition to their pursuit of a striker, Arsenal are set to sign Spain midfielder Martin Zubamendi from Real Sociedad.
01:27However, some critics, including former England winger Sean Wright-Phillips, question the timing of this move.
01:34Wright-Phillips believes Arsenal should prioritise signing a new No. 9 before adding another midfielder, given the existing depth in central midfield.
01:43Arsenal's need for a clinical striker is evident, especially with the departure of key forwards and the inconsistent form of current options.
01:53Fans and pundits are keen to see who will lead the line next season.
01:57Meanwhile, Arsenal's vision for versatile, dynamic front line continues to shape transfer targets.
02:03As the transfer window progresses, Arsenal's strategy will be closely watched,
02:08with fans eager to see how the club strengthens its squad for the upcoming season.
