Arsenal also used the £84m former PSG star as a “talk” as a Benjamin Sesko alternative

Arsenal was also “in negotiations” when signing a former PSG player who could replace RB Leipzig Striker Benjamin Sesko, while sports director Andrea Berta seemed to have discussed many transfer goals.
Andrea Berta’s report is by signing Arsenal’s target striker
In his “first action” as head of the Gunners’ transfer, Berta reached out to Bilba Olympic Athletics agent Nico Williams (Ed Aarons), so the 53-year-old has been extensively working on the club’s recruitment drive for some time.

Portugal has reported a lot of reports in the past two weeks claiming that Arsenal has offered a contract to sports CP star Viktor Gyokeres (O Jogo), and although this has not yet been given a source close to home, Sky Dress has not yet supported Sky Dermany, but Berta has at least extensive negotiations with Swedish International.
However, reliable sources with more latest information suggest Sesko is becoming a major central target.
For example, Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Arsenal was in the “specific” preliminary talks at Slovenia International, and the deal was “on”.
Given that Arsenal missed Sesko and January last summer, not to mention that his price is now at a whopping £93m (Telecom), Berta can also continue to test the water to find other options.
Arsenal also “talk” on Eintracht Frankfurt star Hugo Ekitiké
Eintracht Frankfurt Sensation and Ex-PSG forward Hugo Ekitike, who was also proposed by Arsenal after his outstanding full-length debut season in the Bundesliga.
The Frenchman scored 22 goals and scored 12 assists in 48 appearances in 24/25, while Eintracht’s rating was about £84m, which still makes him slightly cheaper than Sesko’s deal.
Heading to X, Frankfurt and Ekitike have been planning for a few months’ exit, and Arsenal is considered a party in the “talk” of the potential move by the 22-year-old, according to foot mercato journalist Santi Aouna.
“Hugo Ekitike and the Frankfurt board have been planning a transfer for several months for the French striker this summer,” Aouna wrote.
“As revealed in March, some European clubs are already in talks, including Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal.
“The meeting is planned this week between Ekitike’s agent and Chelsea. Frankfurt is already looking for alternatives and has held talks with Jonathan Burkardt.”
His goal attack in Germany showed a fierce talent that would certainly be better because of their urgent need for strikers and what Arsenal left behind in the game.
