Arsenal’s Transfer Pursuits: Gyökeres and Šeško in the Spotlight
As the transfer window heats up, Arsenal fans are buzzing with excitement and anticipation. The Gunners are reportedly in talks to sign Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyökeres and RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Šeško. While both players are on Arsenal’s radar, it seems that Šeško is the priority target for the North London club, according to Football Transfers.
Gyökeres, who is available for €65 million, is seeking assurances of playing time, which could be a sticking point in negotiations. His desire to play in the UEFA Champions League might also complicate matters, especially with Newcastle United showing interest in the 26-year-old striker.
Meanwhile, the transfer rumor mill is churning with news about Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian midfielder, whose contract ends in the summer, is attracting interest from both Saudi Arabian and MLS clubs. With no agreement in place to extend his stay at the Etihad, De Bruyne could be tempted by lucrative offers from abroad, as reported by Nicolo Schira.
