Arsenal are looking to sign a top striker this summer.
Last season, the team dropped points 18 times in the Premier League.
That cost them the title, and they finished second again—for the third year in a row.
Now, manager Mikel Arteta wants to fix that. He’s interested in signing a young star from RB Leipzig named Benjamin Sesko.

Arsenal are willing to pay £70 million to buy Sesko, but there’s a problem.
Sesko and his club want a very high salary, more than Arsenal expected. This could stop the deal from happening.
If Arsenal can’t agree on the salary with Sesko, they might try to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP instead.
Why Arsenal Must Act Fast
Last season, Arsenal finished 10 points behind Liverpool, who won the league.
Now, Liverpool are making big moves in the transfer market.
They’ve already signed Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz, and Milos Kerkez might join soon.
Manchester City are also adding strong players like Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reijnders, and Rayan Ait Nouri.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have only signed one new player so far—midfielder Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad.
Now, Arsenal need to strengthen their attack. They should sign a top striker and a left-winger soon.
Sesko is the manager’s top choice, but Arsenal can’t wait too long.
The new season will start soon, and they need time to prepare.
Their new striker should join the team early to train during the pre-season tour.
Gyokeres Could Be a Great Option
If Arsenal can’t make a deal with Sesko, they should turn to Viktor Gyokeres.
He’s already said he wants to join Arsenal and is ready to wait for the chance.
The club should seriously consider signing the 27-year-old Swedish striker if the Sesko deal doesn’t work out.
