Transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano has provided some insight into Arsenal’s search for a new striker this summer, naming Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko as ideal names to strengthen the Gunners up front.
Speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside for his Daily Briefing column, Romano explained that Arsenal are still deciding their budget and exploring the market for opportunities in attack, with the likes of Gyokeres and Sesko likely to be realistic options for them.
However, there’s also some admiration for Newcastle United front-man Alexander Isak, even if that’s a less realistic target for Arsenal, who would surely struggle to persuade one of their Premier League rivals to sell to them.
Arsenal fans would surely be happy with Gyokeres in particular as he’s had a superbly prolific season, finding the back of the net a remarkable 41 times in 47 appearances in all competitions this term.
Gyokeres transfer: Romano discusses Arsenal striker targets
“Arsenal have been scouting Sporting players multiple times this year, so Gyokeres is a player they appreciate, alongside Alexander Isak at Newcastle. They also appreciate Benjamin Sesko at RB Leipzig, so it’s still early days and Arsenal are exploring the strikers market, but let’s see what they’re going to decide in terms of the budget,” Romano said.
“For his part, Gyokeres wants to keep all the options open, so he could be one to watch in the summer transfer window.
“Let’s see what Arsenal decide to do, but personally I’d go for a proper number 9, someone who can score guaranteed goals. I’m big fan of Gyokeres and Sesko but it’s not easy to pay big amount of money for top strikers so Arsenal are facing an important decision.
“In any case, it’s also worth saying that they are super happy with Kai Havertz’s performances up front, and also with his attitude.”
Who would you sign up front for Arsenal this summer? Let us know in the comments!
Arsenal should sign Alexander Isak at Newcastle as an upgrade on Jesus and Viktor Gyokeres as an upgrade on Nketiah
Yeah, where’s that money coming from?
Hahaha 😆 😂 😆 Hahaha 😆 😂 🤣 😅 how about Ederson,Mbappe and Rodri while we’re at it! Hahaha 😆
Gyokeres would be the best option in my opinion
Arsenal’s project is nearing it’s peek hence the need for one who’d hit the ground running and bring instant results. Such a striker would come at costly fee. Alexander Isak looks like a more proven option but what if you can’t depend on him for half a season. Due to his injury record coupled with the amount needed to bring him out of New Castle, I’d say Victor Gyokeres is best option.
Go for ether Osimhen or Gyokeres!
Gyokeres and Sesko are my 2 choices, Zrikzee plays stylish and attractive football for the audience but it’s not very productive. He’s pot very efficient in front of goal as the other 2.
In my opinion i go for Gyokere, because he show the world what he’s capable of doing
I choose Viktor Gyokeres as our number one target over Benjamin sseko but if he can come as a backup for striking force well and good coz we are to loose nketiah and maybe Jesus forget about dusan and zirkee coz I also understand he has his sight at Ac Milan.
VICTOR BUT SHOULD NOT SELL JESUS
