Arsenal Close on Zubimendi, Target Sesko in Rebuild

Arsenal are focused on strengthening their squad in the summer transfer window, with concrete talks underway for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, whose fee is expected to be between £60m and £85m. Martin Zubimendi is set to join Arsenal from Real Sociedad for £51m, representing the club’s first major signing of the window. Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres remains an alternative striker target, but Arsenal are unlikely to sign both him and Sesko. The club is seeking reinforcements after finishing second in the Premier League and missing out on trophies, citing injuries as a key factor in their campaign. Other top Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Liverpool, are also active in the transfer market. Arsenal’s recruitment is seen as crucial to ending their trophy drought, with manager Mikel Arteta confident in the steps needed for future success.
