sesko gyokeres
RB Leipzig have put Arsenal off signing Benjamin Sesko after the Gunners baulked at the German side's €100 million (£86m/$118m) asking price.
WHAT HAPPENED?
It had been believed that the Slovenian forward was the Gunners' preferred choice up front and reports suggested the club had put in significant work to secure his signing, but Sky Germany report that Leipzig are demanding too high a fee to complete the deal. Unable to agree a fee with the German club, Arsenal have turned their attentions to Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres - who now looks close to joining the Gunners. With Arsenal, and any other potential suitors, unwilling to match the €100m price tag, Sesko is looking more likely than ever to remain in Germany next season.
Viktor Gyokeres
THE BIGGER PICTURE
With Sesko proving unattainable, Gyokeres is now set to become Arsenal's new striker. The Swedish forward has been desperate for a move to the Gunners throughout the summer and is set to complete his dream move to the Premier League. After scoring 68 goals in 66 Liga Portugal games for Sporting, Gyokeres leaves Portugal with a proven goalscoring record and with a desire to show that he is one of the best strikers in the world and capable of performing in the Premier League.
DID YOU KNOW?
The Gunners are beginning to ramp up their summer recruitment drive. After announcing the signing of Martin Zubimendi on Sunday morning, Arsenal are now focused on bringing in attackers. Chelsea's Noni Madueke has agreed personal terms with the club, but it remains to be seen if the Gunners and Chelsea can reach an agreement. Real Madrid's Rodrygo also remains a dream target, alongside Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze.

WHAT NEXT FOR ARSENAL?
After completing the signings of Kepa Arrizabalaga and Zubimendi, Brentford's Christian Norgaard is set to be the next player to walk through the door at the Emirates. The Gunners will no doubt have a busy rest of the summer, both in signings and exits, and will hope the summer rehaul will help close the gap with champions Liverpool.
