According to Fabrizio Romano, consultations between Arsenal and RB Leipzig regarding what was proposed have moved to a sophisticated stage.
The heartbreaking failure of the gunners who failed to acquire silverware in 2024/25 has largely been placed in a shortage of classic strikers as both Kai Herberts and Gabriel Jesus suffer injuries throughout the campaign. Manager Mikel Arteta relied on a variety of alternative approaches, frequently deploying midfielder Mikel Merino, and sometimes Leandro Trossard in the role of “fake 9.”
Arsenal is also believed to have a strong interest in the sport of Lisbon’s Victor Gyoker, but they seem to have settled in Sesco as their main striker target this summer.
The 22-year-old Slovenia International scored 21 goals at a height of 6’4 inches, earning his teammates in all Leipzig tournaments in 2024/25 six more in 44 appearances. He signed a five-year contract last year, so his services are likely to be cheaper too.
