Arsenal Pursues Multiple Transfers Amid Competing Club Interests

Arsenal's summer transfer window is active with multiple targets and negotiations underway as they prepare for the upcoming season. The club is prioritizing the signing of a striker, with Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig as the primary target, although negotiations are ongoing and no deal is finalized; Viktor Gyokeres of Sporting CP remains a strong alternative despite Arsenal viewing his price as excessive. Andrea Berta, Arsenal's director of football, is reportedly considering Hugo Ekitike as a Plan C option due to difficulties in securing Sesko or Gyokeres. Meanwhile, Martin Zubimendi's move to Arsenal appears imminent despite interest from Real Madrid, which is now looking at other options. Arsenal is also pursuing Ajax defender Jorrel Hato, reigniting talks after Chelsea showed interest, and scouting winger Nico Williams, although he has permission to move to Bayern Munich. Additionally, Arsenal are monitoring young talents like Sverre Nypan but are likely to miss out to Manchester City, signaling a busy and strategic transfer period for Mikel Arteta's squad building.
