On an auspicious Champions League night on Tuesday, when Arsenal made a statement by defeating French giants PSG 2-0, there were one or two blemishes among the many positives. Gabriel Jesus’ performance was one of the negatives.
The former Manchester City star is no longer attempting to masquerade himself as an exceptional player. As witnessed against PSG, he is no longer at the level many expected him to be at as an Arsenal player. He is too selfish, lacks imagination, and gives away the ball too easily.
Well, a day after Jesus’ poor performance against PSG, Arsenal sent a scout out to look for potential replacements as Juventus and RB Leipzig met in Leipzig. Dusan Vlahovic, 20, of Juventus, and Benjamin Sesko, 24, of Leipzig, were on the agenda for the Gunners in that game.
The Gunners attempted to sign Sesko last summer, but the midfielder was not yet ready to complete the move. They appear to be keeping an eye on him as he continues his impressive start to the season, with six goals and three assists in eight games.
Vlahovic, on the other hand, has always been a popular player at the Emirates Stadium; he was a top target to replace Pierre Emerick Aubameyang in 2022, but he chose to join Juventus instead. Since then, practically every transfer window has seen him linked with Arsenal.
