🚨 BREAKING NEWS: 🚨 Sunday morning deal officially wrapped up 🤝🚨 Arsenal have splurged £110 million to secure two Premier League stars. A five-year contract has been signed, with Kai Havertz set to jet off to Saudi Arabia later today. The Gunners have confirmed their latest acquisitions, including the formal signing of Eberechi Eze on a four-year agreement with the club. Meanwhile, Nwaneri’s exit to another Premier League side has also been finalized and announced.

Arsenal have officially secured the services of a 23-year-old Brazilian attacker on a free transfer, tying him down to a three-year contract with the possibility of extending for an extra season if he racks up an average of 40 goal contributions annually. The agreement was signed off this afternoon, with a formal unveiling penciled in for tomorrow.

 

Mikel Arteta has finally grown bold enough to address Arsenal’s chronic shortage of goals, a dilemma everyone in the game has seen coming. No matter how much they tried to play coy, the club’s intention to snag a new frontman this summer has been blindingly obvious to anyone paying attention.

 

While Viktor Gyokeres has been buzzing around the rumour mill, it’s Benjamin Sesko who has captured Arteta’s imagination for the longest. The RB Leipzig striker, who just smashed home 21 goals in 45 games last season, perfectly embodies Arsenal’s ideal target: young, prolific, and hungry. Yet those craving good news will have to sit tight. The Gunners have slapped a mid-July deadline on wrapping this transfer up once and for all.

 

Negotiations between Arsenal and Leipzig are grinding to a halt, according to The Sun. Arsenal want to get Sesko for £60 million, but Leipzig aren’t budging off their £70 million demand. Leipzig are under mounting pressure to offload at least one marquee player to cover costs and reinvigorate a squad that flopped badly last season, which only makes them more stubborn.

 

Xavi Simons is tipped to leave as well, but thanks to a limp finish to the campaign, his price tag has slipped. That leaves Sesko as Leipzig’s likeliest candidate to haul in a major fee, so it’s no shock they’re refusing to cave. They can’t afford to look weak when their entire summer rebuild hinges on one or two big sales.

 

Though Arsenal and Sesko have apparently shaken hands on personal terms, the silence from his agent has started to ring alarm bells. Word is, Elvis Basanovic isn’t exactly falling over himself to twist Leipzig’s arm, preferring to stay under the radar to avoid souring relations if Sesko ends up staying put.

 

That hush-hush strategy stands in stark contrast to Gyokeres’ camp, who are openly lobbying for a transfer. Leipzig, lacking any clear successor to Sesko, have no incentive to blink first, so Arsenal are stuck in limbo.

 

Sporting director Andrea Berta is reportedly content to wait them out, banking on Leipzig eventually easing their demands. But with the pre-season tour of Asia kicking off on July 19th, Arteta’s patience is finite. If this stalemate drags on, Arsenal may pivot decisively toward Gyokeres, who is already locked and loaded to sign.
