The summer transfer window is just around the corner, and Arsenal are reportedly looking for a new striker.
The Gunners have been linked with a new centre-forward for months now, and with the window opening in just a few weeks’ time, the north London club will begin shoring up their list of targets soon.
Many strikers have been linked, and speaking on Inside Arsenal, Charles Watts has been discussing who Arsenal could end up signing.
The journalist spoke about recent links to Alexander Isak, and he reckons that Arsenal won’t go for someone like Isak because of how well Kai Havertz is doing, claiming that Benjamin Sesko is a much more likely target.
Benjamin Sesko more likely to join Arsenal than Alexander Isak
Watts spoke about these two strikers.
“I can see why Arsenal might be thinking we don’t need to go for an Alexander Isak when they have Havertz doing what they’re doing. I wish they would, but they probably won’t, I think they will look at a Sesko,” Watts said.
Isak would be a better option
Sesko may be more likely to join Arsenal this summer, but there’s no doubting who the better option would be.
Isak is proven in the Premier League, he’s sharper on the ball, and he scores more goals.
Of course, at the age of just 20, Sesko has plenty of time on his side to grow and improve to get onto Isak’s level, but, as Arsenal know, there’s no such thing as a guarantee in football when you’re talking about a young player.
At £43m, Sesko would be the much cheaper option, but if Arsenal are genuinely intent on challenging for the Premier League and the Champions League next season, perhaps they should push the boat out and get a deal for Isak done.
