Arsenal Will Pay ‘£50m To £60m’ To Sign The Alternative Of Benjamin Sesko

Arsenal Will Pay ‘£50m To £60m’ To Sign The Alternative Of Benjamin Sesko

Spending will be massive for Arsenal this summer. Viktor Gyokeres, a striker for Sporting Lisbon, has been their target. The Gunners are reportedly prepared to pay anything from £50 million to £60 million to sign the Swedish international, according The Sun. After thinking about him as a potential replacement for Benjamin Sesko, this decision was made.

Scouts from Arsenal have been keeping tabs on Gyokeres all season long. To them, he is an invaluable asset to their offensive. Negotiations with Sporting Lisbon are imminently desired by the London club. The problem is, there’s a huge hurdle. The €100 million (£84 million) full release clause for Gyokeres is demanded by Sporting. With such a high asking price, there is a significant disparity between Arsenal’s and Sporting’s willingness to pay.

A big stumbling block is the disparity between £25 million and £35 million. A difficult choice now lies before Arsenal. They have to decide whether they want to pursue other prospects or raise their offer. Sporting would rather trade Ousmane Diomande or Goncalo Inacio than their own players, even if they are in a position where they need to sell. It is worth noting that Arsenal has been said to be interested in both defenders for the last 12 months. Also, Gyokeres seems to be the Gunners’ current priority.

In addition to Mikel Arteta, the club has looked at other attackers. Although Bologna’s Joshua Zirkzee was a possibility, AC Milan is now in the driver’s seat to sign the Dutchman. Another contender was Alexander Isak of Newcastle, but his estimated fee is much over £100 million, thus he was not considered. Similarly, Arsenal will not be pursuing Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, who has a release clause of £109 million.

Arsenal is also looking at less expensive options. Maximilian Beier of Hoffenheim and Brian Brobbey of Ajax are also being watched. But the team is looking for a top-tier striker who can score more than 20 goals annually. Despite the hefty price, Gyokeres is a desirable target since he matches this description.

Attempts to recruit Gyokeres show how ambitious Arsenal is. They are hoping to add a goal scorer to their roster. They are making it clear that they want to compete at the top level with this move. If they are able to close the gap with Sporting Lisbon or if they need to change their emphasis, it will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Finally, Viktor Gyokeres is someone in whom Arsenal is willing to make a substantial investment. Scouts from the club have taken notice of the striker, and he seems to be just what they were looking for—a prolific scorer. The hefty asking price of Sporting Lisbon, however, makes negotiations difficult. Careful consideration of Arsenal’s alternatives is required before the club takes any further action. Both the Gunners and their supporters can look forward to an exciting summer transfer window.
