With Benjamin Sesko's move to Arsenal already well advanced, the Slovenian striker is now facing competition. According to the English media, the Gunners are already negotiating with Sporting Lisbon over a move for Swedish goalscorer Viktor Gyökeres, who scored 54 goals in 52 competitive games last season. The 27-year-old is even said to be prepared to waive part of his salary in exchange for a move to the Premier League club.
According to media reports, Arsenal's new sporting director Andrea Berta has already flown to Portugal to speak directly with Sporting's management about a potential transfer worth around 80 million euros.
Before that, RB Leipzig's Sesko was considered Arsenal's number one transfer target. The 22-year-old is still convinced of the next step. According to dpa information, RB are still in negotiations with Arsenal. There has been no rejection from the Londoners so far. Sesko is also expected to fetch at least 80 million euros if sold. According to reports, RB are even flirting with a little more for their current top star, who only extended his contract until June 30, 2029 last summer.
