Even if Romano stresses that nothing has been done yet, it will certainly be great for Arsenal to pursue Sesko.
Romano is known for being one of the most reliable transfer journalists in the industry and doesn’t tend to report these updates unless he’s 100% sure, so this does have a chance to go in the right direction.
Did Arsenal sign the right striker in Cesco?
Speech Attracted by the side Earlier today, Romano also mentioned interest in the sport of Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres.
Due to this excellent scoring record, some AFC fans may prefer Gyokeres to Sesko, but it is also a potential risk deal.
Not only is Sesko four years older, he has never played in one of the top five European leagues.
Romano tells us about Sesko to Arsenal
Remind Romano to tell us about the Sesko Arsenal transaction earlier today:
“Sesko is still very high on Arsenal’s finalists. He is the player they want and they made connections with Red Bull Leipzig ten days ago,” he said.
“The other player is working on is Viktor Gyokeres, another player with a different skill and price.
“That’s why Arsenal took some time before the deal was concluded, but for Sesko, the contacts absolutely started and the deal had already begun.”
He added: “Arsenal also hoped that Cesco was a year ago, but in this case it was impossible, and it was the same story from January.
“Now, let’s follow this situation because Arsenal is working on Sesko and Gyokeres are still on their roster.
“Also remember that Arsenal also wants to add a major winger to Mikel Arteta’s squad this summer.”
