With 70 goals scored already this season – the most in the Premier League – it seems odd to be talking about Arsenal having such a requirement, however, it merely serves to underscore just how much more prolific the first team could be with an out-and-out goalscorer in situ.
According to Mirror Sport, Sesko, who the outlet note has 11 goals in 34 games this season, is on a summer shopping list that also includes the likes of Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak and, as football.london note, Viktor Gyokeres.
Benjamin Sesko is one of many Arsenal summer targets
The latter has an incredible 36 goals and 14 assists in 39 games this season, which makes you wonder why the Gunners and others weren’t interested in the Swedish international when he left Coventry City.
With a playing CV that also included Brighton and Hove Albion and Swansea City, scouts at Premier League clubs can’t say that they weren’t aware of the player.
Arsenal are after a new striker and Benjamin Sesko is being considered.
Benjamin Sesko is wanted by Arsenal
Whether Sesko is the name that Mikel Arteta or Edu finally plump for, or if it’s someone else on their list, what’s clear is that the deal has to make sense in terms of Financial Fair Play.
The Gunners spent heavily last summer on the likes of Declan Rice and Kai Havertz, and whilst sales could generate some headroom in terms of figures, Arsenal still need to be cautious.
