Although the dream of many Arsenal fans this summer will be to see Alexander Isak arriving in a large case, the fact is that he feels quite untouchable.
Reported Price requested at 150 million pounds sterling was slapped on his head and despite Mikel Arteta’s need to strengthen in attack, it is unlikely that the Gunners will pay this sum of money, since they also need fresh faces in other areas on the ground.
This may explain why they are currently working on an agreement to sign Viktor Gyokerres, then. In recent days, reports suggest that they have been in talks and that an agreement may well be close.
But, if this movement does not materialize, attention could be turned towards Benjamin Sesko and another alternative.
Arsenal could sign an upgrade of 59 million pounds sterling
Last summer, it seemed that Arsenal was going to sign SESKO, before Central Slovenian.
The striker had a liberation clause at RB Leipzig and despite the interests of the Londoners in the North, he wrote a new contract in Germany and decided to stay another year.
Well, a year later, Arsenal is still interested in the 21 -year -old, with David Ornstein of athletics, noting earlier in the week he did a lot of work to potentially sign the player.
The player always has a liberation clause with certain conditions, which means that she could see Arsenal Pay In the region of 67 million pounds sterling.
Transfer focus
Mega Money Deals, Controversial Moves and Big-Name Flops. This is the house of news and transfer opinions through Football Fancast.
If they are looking for a cheaper alternative, they don’t need to look further than the Borussia Dortmund Serhou Guirassy.
Elite clubs in England have all presented the opportunity to sign the striker this summer as According to the German publication, BildThe player has a liberation clause of 59 million pounds sterling, which can only be triggered by a certain set of teams.
These clubs are Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Barcelona.
This is a strange situation but due to the nature of the liberation clause, if one of the above parties submitted an offer of 59 million pounds sterling, Dortmund would have no choice but to accept.
How Guirassy compares himself to Sesko
Sesko, described as “the new haaland” Through scout talent, Jacek Kulig is clearly one of the most promising and exciting young attackers at the game right now.
In the Bundesliga, He scored 13 goals in 33 games And recorded eight more to other competitions. It is a solid count given its age, but Arsenal wants to win now. Thus, the signature of Guirassy for cheaper costs may well be the answer.
After all, when it comes to finding the net, it is certainly more prolific. Rightly described as a “goal monster” By journalist Michael Ador, also playing in the high flight of Germany, Guirassy scored 21 in 30 league outings this season.
In all competitions, the 29 -year -old has I found the net 34 times in 45 lights. While he was a national threat, it was in the Champions League where he accumulated amazing figures.
Guirassy notably marked a hat -trick in the quarter -finals against Barcelona, which were three 13 goals he has scored in 14 European links this season. He is a man for the great occasion and being at his peak, he is ready to help Arsenal now. Unlike SESKO, he is not a project striker.
So where else beats the Slovenian? We criticized the figures.

By analyzing certain measures, it is not surprising to see that Guirassy is more dangerous before the objective since he takes more shots. It is also involved in the construction game, recording more key passes every 90 minutes.
Sesko is certainly the most progressive and fastest of the two, judging by the number of catches he reaches, but what is crucial for the way Arteta uses its central doors is that Guirassy prevails over Leipzig’s feeling for the air duels won.
We have two different profiles here, but at the end of the day, the goals win you football matches and that’s what the Gunners have missed the most this season.
The Dortmund star may be 29 years old, but it is at its peak, it is in the form of its life, and for 59 million pounds sterling, you will not find much better options.
