Benjamin Šeško
)
Club: RB Leipzig
Estimated Fee: £62–80 million
Stats (2024/25): 18 goals, 6 assists
Key Traits: Aerial presence, pace, long-range shooting, off-the-ball movement
Sesko’s blend of height, athleticism, and sharp finishing makes him the ideal target to lead Arsenal’s frontline.
Leipzig are open to talks, and Sesko is reportedly enthusiastic about Arteta’s project. His signing would add a commanding presence capable of unlocking deep defenses—something Arsenal have often lacked.
Viktor Gyokeres
)
Club: Sporting CP
Estimated Fee: £55–70 million
Stats (2024/25): 27 goals, 9 assists
Key Traits: Physicality, pressing intensity, link-up play, shot accuracy
Gyokeres is one of the most complete strikers in Europe. His ability to lead the line, draw fouls, and transition quickly from defense to attack fits perfectly with Arsenal’s positional play. Interest from Manchester United may push the Gunners to act fast, especially given Gabriel Jesus’s mixed performances.
Noni Madueke
)
Club: Chelsea
Estimated Fee: £45–50 million
Stats (2024/25): 7 goals, 3 assists
Key Traits: Flair, two-footed dribbling, pace, tactical flexibility
Madueke brings Premier League experience, electric footwork, and high ceiling potential. Arsenal are aiming to reduce dependency on Bukayo Saka, and Madueke’s ability to stretch defenses and deliver crosses makes him a logical addition.
His availability has prompted quick dialogue between the two clubs.
Eberechi Eze
)
Club: Crystal Palace
Estimated Fee: £60–68 million
Stats (2024/25): 14 goals, 11 assists
Key Traits: Dribbling, press resistance, set-pieces, positional fluidity
Eze’s rise since breaking through at QPR before sealing a move to Palace in 2020 has been impossible to ignore.
His creativity from central areas and wide positions gives Arsenal an edge in transitional play and chance creation.
With Palace willing to negotiate below his release clause, this could be one of the smartest moves Arsenal, who ironically released him from their academy in 2012, make this summer.
Rodrygo
)
Club: Real Madrid
Estimated Fee: £84–100 million
Stats (2024/25): 14 goals, 8 assists
Key Traits: Elite finishing, Champions League experience, versatility, composure, winning mindset
Rodrygo is the headline target. Though pricey, his acquisition would signal Arsenal’s readiness to compete with Europe’s elite. A
Arteta sees him as a game-changer—someone who can perform under pressure and deliver consistently in all competitions. Arsenal have opened preliminary talks, though Madrid’s stance will be decisive.
Rodrygo has played a minimal role at the ongoing Club World Cup for Real Madrid, with new coach Xabi Alonso favoring Vinicius Jr, Goncalo Garcia and Kylian Mbappe as twin striker options in his 3-5-2 system, which could put his future in further doubt.
Final verdict:
Arsenal’s aggressive pursuit of these five attackers underscores a strategic shift from long-term development to immediate contention.
By targeting a mix of youth, Premier League experience, and proven international talent, Arteta is positioning the club for success on multiple fronts. For Pulse Sports Kenya readers, this transfer window could mark the defining moment in Arsenal’s modern history.
