As anticipated, this is the time of year when transfer gurus such as Fabrizio Romano and Sir Ornstein himself take center stage, dishing out tasty transfer rumors that will make your loins tingle. With Albert Sambi Lokonga indicating that his time with the team is essentially done and Mohamed Elneny and Cedric Spares having to find new pastures since their contracts haven’t been extended, there has been an increased chatter of departures at Arsenal recently. The teenage sensation Mika Biereth, who enjoyed a very successful loan spell at Sturm Graz, is likely the first sale of the summer. If the reports in the papers are accurate, representatives from the Austrian team are expected to visit the Emirates this week to discuss possible terms for the young Dane. It’s no secret that Arsenal needs a new striker, and while Kai Havertz led the line in the second half of the season due to a tactical shift, I don’t think he’ll be a long-term solution despite his skill. Let’s introduce Benjamin Sesko, the young player from RB Leipzig who is one of the most sought-after names in football worldwide. He is tall, commanding, very technically proficient, and a wonderful fit for Arsenal’s mission. The best thing is that he won’t have to start right away and will have the much-needed time to become accustomed to the system before challenging for the center forward position. As we’ve seen, Gabriel Jesus isn’t always good at scoring goals, so Sesko’s arrival gives him the freedom to play from the wings without feeling pressured to do so. Sesko is unlikely to command a huge signing fee since £45 million, or half of what you would spend for the Antonys and Mykhailo Mudryks of this world, is likely enough to secure his talents. For now, this is just conjecture, but I hope it turns into real action, as it would be very serious and welcome.
