Arsenal are expected to hold talks over signing a £77 million forward on loan in January, with Mikel Arteta’s side emerging as the latest team to take a firm interest in his signature for the winter window.
Arsenal enter transfer market for new striker in 2025
Former Gunners sporting director Edu Gaspar attempted to strike a summer deal for RB Leipzig sensation Benjamin Sesko in the summer window, but the Slovenia international rejected their proposal to stay in the Bundesliga.
Sesko had an offer from Arsenal, as he did from Chelsea and Man United, but the 21-year-old’s decision to stay at Leipzig left Arteta without a new marksman for the 2024/2025 season.
“From Arsenal’s point of view, I am still told they will wait to understand if Sesko is possible next summer,” said journalist Ben Jacobs to GiveMeSport this week.
“Isak is also an appealing and long-standing target, and in many ways a bit of a dream one. Even if Newcastle decided to sell in summer 2025, suitors are going to have to pay a steep price.
“Some of Arsenal’s other options, including Sesko, would prove more economical in terms of both fee and wage.”
Arsenal to hold talks over loan deal for PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani
According to CaughtOffside, another option has emerged for as early as the winter window – PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani.
The France international, who cost PSG £77 million to sign from Eintracht Frankfurt, hasn’t exactly set the world alight in Ligue 1 since transferring back to his homeland from Germany.
Arsenal are expected to hold talks over a loan deal for Kolo Muani, as they become the latest side to show an interest, with both Man United and Newcastle also believed to be keen on the forward.
