Arsenal Faces Competition From Bayern For Sesko Transfer

The summer transfer window has reopened, with Arsenal focusing heavily on strengthening their squad, particularly targeting RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko as their priority signing. Despite Arsenal's keen interest and ongoing talks, Leipzig values Sesko between £68 million and £85 million, a price Arsenal has yet to meet, and Bayern Munich has also entered the race for the Slovenian forward, adding competition. Arsenal are monitoring alternative options such as Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres, whose transfer fee is reportedly lower but still substantial, while Gyokeres prefers a move to Arsenal over other clubs. Additionally, Arsenal is working to secure promising talents like Myles Lewis-Skelly, who has attracted Real Madrid's interest amid contract negotiations to keep him at the club. Liverpool are making significant moves as well, agreeing to a club-record £116.5 million deal for Florian Wirtz, while Manchester United and other Premier League clubs are active in the market. Arsenal's transfer strategy reflects a blend of securing top forwards and retaining emerging stars to maintain their competitive edge in the Premier League and Champions League.
