Arsenal's striker search hits a wall! Gunners REFUSE to pay up for Benjamin Sesko & Viktor Gyokeres after deeming asking prices too high

<p>Per Sky Sports' <a href="https://x.com/Plettigoal/status/1935044734432804946" target="_blank">Florian Plettenberg</a>, the Gunners have refused to match RB Leipzig's massive €80 million-€100m asking price for star striker Sesko. The Premier League are in touch with the player's representatives but are yet to fully agree on personal terms.<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-plan-c-new-striker-talks-benjamin-sesko-viktor-gyokeres-stall/blt9bb074fb9ab6e93e#csee0f622ab384c18c" target="_blank"> The club have not even launched a formal bid</a> for the forward. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The report adds that Arsenal could now shift their focus to Gyokeres. The Swedish striker will hope that Sporting CP will let him leave the club this summer for a transfer fee in the region of €60m–€70m. The Portuguese giants, however, could demand a higher fee. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Another direction Arsenal could pursue involves strengthening their options on the wing. Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams is viewed as a dream addition, although acquiring him would not come cheap. The Spanish club want £50m ($68m) paid upfront, and Williams' wage demands could pose significant challenges, potentially breaching the Gunners' current salary framework.  </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Mikel Arteta's side will reassemble in late July and are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-pre-season-2025-tour-fixtures-results-tickets-watch/blta94b446e92c8cc1d#cs632a6b94d28527c7" target="_blank">scheduled to travel to Singapore and Hong Kong for their pre-season tour</a>.  </p>
