Ex-Arsenal player Martin Keown claims that his former side has secretly signed a new striker in Benjamin Sesko.
Benjamin Sesko to Arsenal is already done?
Arsenal will be expected to be busy during this summer transfer window. With their key intention being the bring in a quality striker to strengthen the squad. They were the favourites for the Premier League title this campaign. However, they are currently 12 points behind league leaders Liverpool.
Arsenal had to go through injury crisis this season. The lack of a signing in the attack in January may cost them chances at the title. And they will now make the most of the summer window.
With multiple forwards linked with Arsenal, top targets are Alexander Isak and Benjamin Sesko. Though Sesko may be the more attainable option. Recent reports show that he is on his way with a move to North London.
Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown claims that the club may have signed a deal with a new striker already.
Despite Keown’s words, it is unlikely to happen that the club has already made a transfer. Given the ongoing developments off the field in regards to the new sporting director.
More updates on the recent transfer links
Andre Berta will take the role, but there has not been final confirmation yet. However, if Keown is sure in his claims, it is likely the agreement reached will be with Sesko and not Isak at Newcastle.
The chairman of Newcastle reportedly has no desire to sell Isak. And it is clear he wants to build on winning the League Cup last season. Sesko has been heavily linked with a transfer to the North London club since the last window.
That deal did not happen because the player decided to stay with RB Leipzig for an additional season. Although, he is looking for a move this summer. The 21-year-old Slovenian international has risen quickly through the Red Bull football system. He has played at Red Bull Salzburg, before joining RB Leipzig in 2023.
His performances in Germany have been great. He has 18 goals in his first year in the Bundesliga. And continuing his strong form, registering 17 goals and six assists in 36 appearances.
