Arsenal Is Desperately Looking For A Striker In The January Market To Revive The Goal-Scoring Streak In The Team

Despite several close talks with various forwards in the market Arsenal still failed to secure any deal in the January transfer window making them desperate to sign Benjamin Sesko this summer.

Arsenal Is Desperately Looking For A Striker In The January Market To Revive The Goal-Scoring Streak In The Team

Manchester City have three signings including one attacking and two defending options after their drastic fall in the league performance to revive their premier league hope even being in the 5th position. Arsenal failed to make an impact in the transformer market to enhance squad depth for which Arteta continuously complained.

Arsenal Boss Said “We Are Very Short” Indicating The Squad Depth Compared To Liverpool

The absence of a goal poacher is getting highlighted in the team after the injury of Gabriel Jesus. Kai Havertz is a goal scorer in the team but he is not out and out number nine capable of scoring consecutive games for Gunners. So Arsenal is trying hard to sign Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.

Departure of Kiren Tierny Could be Effective for Arsenal to Sign Benjamin Sesko

There is no fixed amount informed by the German side and Arsenal is also investigating the situation and performance of the striker. An amount between 65m-80m Euros might be the price for the player that the Gunners need to activate to close the transfer talk. As of now, there is no release clause for Sesko from Leipzig making it slightly easier for Arsenal to initiate talks.

Departure of Kieran Tierney could help Arsenal get an edge in managing the salary sheet for players. The player would return to his former club Celtic after being on a longer spell with Arsenal from 2019. Gunners are considering moving him in winter but several complications might increase his tenure to the Summer transfer window.

Cunha Is another Target for Arsenal and Wolves have Their Asking Price for the Brazilian

Apart from Sesko, Arteta submitted the name of league player Matheus Cunha who is currently playing at Wolverhampton. In this case, Nottingham Forest is the competitor of Arsenal as Nuno Santo is looking forward to his former club star being included in his present team to compete in the premier league.

The asking price for Cunha from the Wolves side is around £60m which might be a factor restricting Nottingham from making the offer. Considering the club’s highest signing of Elliot Anderson at £35m it's very unlikely that the West Bridgford team would make such a costly signing. Now it would be on Arsenal and Arteta to choose the striker and pay the price to solve their biggest issue of not having enough goals right now.
