Arsenal are now keen to sign a “exciting” player who is a “clone” of one of their current first teams, with potential deals that could exceed £25 million, a report said.
Arsenal’s summer transfer plan
The Gunners are considering strengthening their teams in many regions this summer, with new forwards likely high on the priority list and now they have positive updates on RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesco’s pursuit.
It is now believed that despite the general interest in Slovenians’ signatures, Sesko chose to move to North London in the summer transfer window, which Chelsea and Manchester United are also keen on.
Striker isn’t the only area where Mikel Arteta and new sporting director Andrea Berta are looking for reinforcements, but negotiations related to the AFC Bournemouth Dean Huijsen deal have recently been identified as a centre-back.

Now, the £42 million star is expected to join the new club as Arsenal scouts really impressed
Mikel Arteta is keen to breathe a new life into his Arsenal Squad this summer.
David Raya is a reliable choice between Arteta’s sticks, but the North Londoner is now interested in signing a new goalkeeper as Neto will return to the parent club in Bournemouth in the summer.
This is according to the Sun, which states that Arsenal is now keen to sign Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia, who can join with teammate Omar El Hilali.
Given his importance to Espanyol, the goalkeeper is expected to spend more than £25m, but the Spanish side is reluctant to sell its two of its main players in the same transfer window.

“Exciting” Garcia was impressed in La Liga
Garcia was praised as “exciting” by free-ball scout Ben Mattinson, who also claimed the Espanyol star was David Raya’s “clone” because of his ability to have both the ball and deal with crosses.
Martinson believes that he has great potential for the 6-foot-3 Colossus’ performance against Real Madrid this season.
So if the Spaniard is willing to play the second violin, Arsenal should definitely take action this summer, and Arteta hopes to bring a strong second-choice goalkeeper that allows Raya to improve his game.
However, the situation that caused Aaron Ramsdale to leave would warn of problems that could arise when two top goalkeepers compete for the same position.
