80 million dropped by Arteta for a goalscorer?

Mikel Arteta will have to find a solution quickly if he wants to continue to compete in the various competitions in which Arsenal participate after the serious injury to Gabriel Jesus, victim of a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on Sunday against Manchester United. The Spanish coach finds himself without a real number 9 since even if this position was occupied by Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz, these two players are left winger and attacking midfielder respectively. Faced with this long-term absence of Jesus, the Gunners would be ready to spend all their money on a goalscorer.

A planned transfer or loan

The Spanish coach declared at a press conference that the recruitment plans planned for the summer could very probably be brought forward to January after this terrible injury. The first option will be to lean towards the Academy but The Sun reveals that the London club is considering the recruitment of Benjamin Sesko, 21 years old and author of 13 goals in 25 matches in all competitions with RB Leipzig. The cheapest option for Arsenal would be a dry loan as Elvis Basanovic, Sesko's agent, has claimed that a winter move is unlikely unless there is a huge offer as Leipzig fight for a place in the League finals of Champions. The English daily specifies that the Slovenian striker is estimated at 70 million pounds sterling and that the current 2nd in the Premier League could meet the demands of the German club.
