Sesko has been listed as one of the main transfer targets for the Gunners, who hope to acquire a marquee center-forward before the start of the new campaign.

According to a recent source, the club is allegedly “stepping up” their intentions for a striker now that Sesko is a possibility. It was also mentioned that he might be open to a €50 million release clause.

But things have now totally turned around.

According to journalist Philipp Hinze, the 20-year-old’s clause has grown to €65 million as a result of his goal contributions and playing time during the second half of the season.

Depending on how Sesko performs in his remaining two games of the season, the final worth could rise to €75 million.

We think the Gunners should steer clear of such an approach because of the enormous financial investment involved.

Next season, Arsenal needs a ready-made goal scorer.

Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus were the Gunners’ primary strikers at the beginning of the season, but neither was able to produce goals on a regular basis in the Premier League.

Before Kai Havertz was able to establish himself as the club’s staple at number nine, Leandro Trossard was tried out for the position for some time.

Since mid-February, the German has been in incredible form, tallying eight goals and five assists. The key question is if he can repeat this performance in the upcoming campaign.

Manager Mikel Arteta needs a backup goal scorer who can step in and make a difference when things get tight since he cannot afford to rely just on Havertz.

We don’t think Sesko would be the solution at €75 million. With five goals in his past five games and 16 goals overall for the season, he has been in similar prolific scoring form to Havertz.

Although the Slovenian is not as adept with the ball as the Gunners star, he shares Havertz’s propensity to drop into deeper offensive areas.

Although his “plank posture,” which gives him the ability to shoot with accuracy and force, is undoubtedly his greatest asset, Arsenal’s offense also relies heavily on link-up play in the closing third.

We believe that the team would be better served by seeking a trade for Viktor Gyokeres of Sporting, who has racked up an incredible 41 goals and 15 assists so far this season.

With a €100 million release clause, the Swede could be more expensive, but his enormous experience and aptitude for scoring goals on a regular basis make him a stronger addition.
