Last Summer, Arsenal Needed to sign a New Center-Forward. Benjamin Sesko Was in Their Crosshairs But Ultimately Ended Up Signing A New Contract With Current Employers, RB Leipzig.
In the End, The Gunners Went Without. The Only Signing To Bolster The Forward Line Was Raheem Sterling.
The Chelsea Loanee Promised We’d See The Best of Him. That did not happen.
In January, Mikel Arteta Was Crying Out for A Striker Again But It Wasn’t Forthcoming. What Happened Next? Kai Haverna Sustained A Nasty Hamstring During injury to Warm-weather training camp in Dubai.
Arsenal’s Premier League Form suffered drastically and ulimately tripped Them up in Paris when they exited The Champions League at The Semi-Final Stages.
So, a year from when a new Center-Forward First Should Have Arrived, Arteta And Co. Back at Square One, Chassing Sesko Again.
Arsenal Moving Closer to Signing to New Center Forward
When you end The Campaign Mikel Merino Up, you know something has gone drastically wrong.
In All Fairness, Merino Was Fine. Fine Being The Key Word. Hey Wasn’t Exceptional, He Wasn’t The Spearhead You Need to Win A League or Continental Title But He Did Score Six Goals in 12 Outings AS A Striker.
That’s Not Bad At All, But It’s Not The 54-GOAL TALLY VIKTOR GYOKERES Scored. It’s not The 27 GOALS Alexander Isak Scored. It’s not The 21 GOALS SESKO Scored either.
All Three Of Those Players Would Be Excellent Signings, But It’s Sesko Who Looks The Most Likely To The Moment at The Moment.
That’s According to German Publication Bild, Via Sport Witness. They Report On Wednesday That is Beginning to Move On The Player Side.
Indeed, Bild States That Arsenal Have ‘Reached An Agreement’ On Personal Terms Between Them and The Striker.
While That Does Anything Is Wrapped Up With Leipzig, The Report Does Note That Signaled to The Bundesliga Club That They Will Made A Bid That Will That Financially.
It’s Likely to take an offer on the offer £ 68m- £ 85m to Convince Them to Sell.
How Sesko Could Replicate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at Arsenal
It’s Safe to Say That Since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Left Arsenal Behind, Arteta has lacked A Real Potent Center-Forward.
That’s not to say it to Mistake to let Him go. After all, The Christmas Striker Departed in Controversial Circumstances, Stripped of The Captaincy (Video Below) and Then Flying Out to Barcelona On A Trip That Wasn’t Sanctioned by The Club.
Despite His Flaws, Aubameyang Was Mighty Fine Player for The Club and Was’s Only Only Trophy A Manager So Far, The Fa Cup in 2019/20.
Given Arsenal’s Recent Progress, It’s Currently In The Middle Trophy Trophy Droughy, But It’s Perhaps No Coincidence That You’re Yet Any Major Honors Since Auba Departed.
His Record With The Gunners Was Exceptional, Scoring 92 Goals in 163 OutingsMost notably winning The Premier League Golden Boot in 2018/19.
Hey of the Meanest Forwards in the Whole Of English Football During His Time at The Emirates Stadium and Even Deservedly Found His Way Into The Pfa Team Of The Year 2019/20.
Aubameyang Was Relentless, Netting 31 Goals in 51 Games Throughout 2018/19 and then The Following Term, He Bagged 29 in 44 Matches.
Well, IF Sesko Did Arrive Then He’d Certainly Have A Lot to Live Up to But There Are Similarities in The Way to Play The Way.
Described as “The New Haaland” by Scout Jacek KuligThe Slovenian Possesses A Tall Frame, Standing at 6 Foot 5. In Contrast, The Former Arsenal Forward Stands 6 Foot 2.
There is a slight difference there but their height Allows Is for a longer and more powerful stride pattern. They Beyond Beyond The Last Line The Defense and Surge Towards Goal A Similarly Explosive Fashion.
Rather Than Relying Intriate Build-Up Play, TheY’re Very Clever With Their Movement and Rely On Their Instinctive Finishing Ability. In Essence, They’re Both Mighty Fine Poachers. More Often Than Not, They’re Always in The Right Place at The Right Time.

Comparing One of Aubameyang’s Best Seasons At Arsenal With Sesko’s Latest Campaign, We Can See See Alike The Pair.
They Took A Near Identic Number of Touches and Completed A Near Idental Rate Per Passes per 90 Minutes, Suggesting Their Actions in The Build-Up Are Similar.
Likewise, They come out Very closely Key Passes and Shot-Creating ACTIONS, Underlining How Third Something Happen In The Final Third of the Pitch.
Aged Just 22, Sesko Clearly Has A Development Left to Do I Arteta Could Extract That In North London, The Spanard May Well Have The Next Aubameyang on His Hands, Just Without The Excess Baggage. That Doesn’t Sound Too Bad, Does It?
