Hi Ed, hope you're well! It seems like we've pivoted our first choice striker target from Oshimen to Sesko. Is this true? As always appreciate the time you provide to give updates!
{Ed002's Note - There are a number of targets for a striker but I have already explained the situation with Osimhen. Sesko is still on the list and the club is keen.}

Thanks Ed, appreciate it.

Think everything is pointing to sesko, we have wanted him a long time, leipzig and sesko would like it sorted before euros and we seem to have a good relationship with leipzig. don't see any others happening unless we take a risk with players that have had a good season like gimenez or Dovbyk.

See the Arsenal page for the latest on these two.
I'm not sure on Sesko, I think he may struggle in the Prem but even if he doesn't there is naturally going to be a bedding in period. I'm unconvinced that he is an immediate upgrade on Jackson but admittedly I am higher on Jackson than most. I suppose the plan could be for Jackson to continue cutting his teeth at LW, but then where do you play Nkunku? In midfield, as a 10? Also where does that leave Mudryk?
In my opinion, Osimhen is ready-made for the Prem and would score goals straight away so it is a shame we seem to no longer be in the mix. I had hoped Napoli's interest in Lukaku would have helped us in this deal.

Serhou Guirassy who had a tremendous season in the Bundesliga last season and at less than £15M could be worth a punt? Any Chelsea interest i wonder?
Sesko is not an upgrade on Jackson really. And Victor is too expensive - it really is not worth that.
{Ed002's Note - He is of no interest to Chelsea.}

Good post on Arsenal page. Very interesting.

If I were choosing a striker it would be Lautaro Martinez, consistent goal scorer, all the attributes of a striker; good defensive contributions and leadership skills. I accept it ain’t going to happen.

Cheers Ed. Would much rather Sesko and Olise for the price of Osimhen. Along with Tosin that would be great business.
