Arsenal are growing frustrated with Benjamin Sesko’s wage demands, despite being ready to meet RB Leipzig’s £70 million asking price. Manager Mikel Arteta wants the 22-year-old Slovenian striker as a key summer signing, but the player’s salary expectations may force the club to consider other options.
Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres remains a backup target, though the 27-year-old Swede is aware he’s not Arsenal’s first choice. He is eager for a Premier League move, and Sporting are open to selling.
Meanwhile, Arsenal’s efforts to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi are also stalling. The England international wants guaranteed playing time, but he would likely sit behind William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes in the pecking order.
