Arsenal are making their move for RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, with Fabrizio Romano confirming that the Gunners have opened 'concrete talks'.
The club's inactivity in regards to signing a number nine eventually came back to bite them during a frustrating 2024/25 campaign, as injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz forced Mikel Arteta to utilise Mikel Merino as a makeshift centre-forward.
Such injury setbacks eventually caught up with the Gunners, who finished a distant second behind Liverpool in the Premier League and were beaten in the Champions League semi-finals by Paris Saint-Germain off the back of a profligate display in Paris.
A new striker won't alleviate all of the Gunners' issues with Arteta at the helm, but an alternate source of goals is doubtlessly needed. They require a reliable marksman, and the club seemingly believe Sesko will evolve into exactly that.
