<p>Per <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/arsenal-benjamin-sesko-gyokeres-madueke-striker-transfer-b2775312.html" target="_blank">The Independent</a>, Arsenal have been told that they will need to pay £50 million ($68m) if they are to sign Madueke from Chelsea this summer. Mikel Arteta is seeking reinforcements in attack, and has also been chasing <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-stance-benjamin-sesko-transfer-revealed-gunners-deadline-potential-100m-rb-leipzig-viktor-gyokeres/blt31aed8770868c65b" target="_blank">RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko</a>. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Sesko's contract includes a release clause worth just over €80m (£68.5m/$93m), but Arsenal have instead been aiming to do a deal at closer to €70m (£60m/$81m) and they are also not minded to pay Chelsea's demanded fee for Madueke. They have also been in talks with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-mikel-arteta-transfer-warning-links-benjamin-sesko-viktor-gyokeres/blt425a9afbc21be5e9" target="_blank">Sporting CP over Viktor Gyokeres</a>. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Madueke only joined Chelsea in 2023 and has a contract until 2030. He made 32 Premier League appearances last season, scoring seven goals and registering four assists. As the Blues are eyeing a move for Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Gittens, Madueke could lead an exodus this summer.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Arsenal will hope to get a deal done for a new forward before the new season begins. They are next in action against AC Milan next month in a pre-season friendly. </p>
