Looks like Sesko is their target and have started talks. Per Fabrizio anyway. Delap to ChelseaI do think most Gunners fans are pretty bitterly disappointed with the team this year. It's not being second so much. It's finishing with 72 points. I don't see how you can argue that was a good showing even in a league with a lot of parity. It reminds me of the Leicester title season in that the rest of the league was down and it was Arsenal's chance and they blew it (to be clear, this Liverpool team is much better than that Leicester team and I think Liverpool could have gotten to 90 points if they had felt any urgency at all).They had more points last year than Liverpool finished with this year. So pretty much the same thing as a trophy.Three London clubs lifting a trophy this season?! Tough year for Gunner fans...
It's also the feeling of the team not investing in areas that every Arsenal fan knows they need to invest in. The team does not have a potential 30 goal striker. We've known that for three years and we're still starting years hoping Kai Haavertz can stay healthy and productive and that Saka can make a leap to a truly elite player.
This off season, they are widely believed to be taking their pick of Gyorkes or Sesko, but we're already hearing talk of Gyorkes (certainly the more productive player of the two candidates) going elsewhere. And because Sesko still feels like a guy with more potential than production, I can easily see the team "stuck" with him as the option and then being reluctant to pull the trigger because his price is too high with Red Bull knowing Arsenal need him.
Will be watching what happens with Gyorkes all while hoping the rumors of Hojlund+33M for Osimhen has some truth to it. I could get excited with this lineup:
Osimhen
Cuhna Mbeuno
Dorgu Bruno Ugarte Amad
Heaven De Ligt Yoro
Or
Osimhen
Cuhna Bruno
Dorgu Mainoo Ugarte Amad
Heaven De Ligt Yoro
Just need a GK!
