Fabrizio Romano: Arsenal Update on Sesko
They aren’t backing out of a deal yetPersonal terms Agreed: Manchester United finally agree personal terms with 22-year-old dangerous striker who has been ranked above Erling Haaland this season.
Writing in his exclusive GIVEMESPORT newsletter, Romano has provided an update on Arsenal’s pursuit of a new striker, confirming that talks are ongoing for both Sesko and Sporting CP centre-forward Viktor Gyokeres. The respected reporter confirms that, despite reports, the Gunners aren’t considering backing out of a deal for Sesko as it stands…
“No [Arsenal aren’t backing out of a deal for Sesko], Sesko and Gyokeres are both contacts ongoing at the moment. Let’s see what Arsenal decide.”
Recent reports claimed that Arsenal were considering exploring alternative targets due to Sesko’s wage demands. It’s claimed that the Slovenian forward is demanding a salary package that the Gunners aren’t willing to meet as it stands, but Romano has confirmed that talks are ongoing.
Sesko and Gyokeres appear to be Arsenal’s two main targets to strengthen in the striker position, but they won’t be easy deals to complete, considering the financial package both Leipzig and Sporting are likely to demand.
