Recently, Arsenal once again fell just short in the Premier League title race, losing out to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in the final stretch. As the saying goes, everyone’s fighting their own battles—giving up is not an option. According to Melbet Affiliates sources, this heartbreak has only sharpened Arsenal’s determination to strengthen their squad in the summer window, especially up front. And now, they’ve received a major boost: last season’s Serie A Golden Boot winner Victor Osimhen has expressed strong interest in joining the Gunners.
Fans who have followed Osimhen closely know that he’s been looking to leave Napoli for quite some time. Midway through the season, a public fallout on social media between the player and the club highlighted tensions. Melbet Affiliates reports that Napoli’s management had forced a contract extension during the season, promising to allow him to leave in the summer. Osimhen reluctantly stayed for the rest of the campaign, but his focus clearly shifted, leading to a dip in form. Still, his admiration for Arsenal could now open the door for a major Premier League move. Last season, he scored 31 goals in just 35 matches—an elite return by any standard.
With his power, pace, and finishing, Osimhen could be the game-changer Arsenal needs to turn tight contests into victories. However, Napoli are demanding a staggering €150 million for the Nigerian striker. Even so, with Arsenal just one step away from the Premier League title, signing a forward who can go toe-to-toe with Erling Haaland might be the final piece of the puzzle. If the Gunners manage to secure Osimhen’s signature, they’ll have every reason to believe next season could finally be theirs.
At the same time, Arsenal are also leading the race for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. The 21-year-old Slovenian is reportedly leaning toward a move to Mikel Arteta’s side this summer. Melbet Affiliates reveals that several top clubs—including Chelsea, Manchester United, and a few Serie A teams—are monitoring Sesko, but Arsenal’s pursuit is the most serious. Valued at £45 million, the striker is said to be highly interested in Arsenal, making this a potentially mutual match.
Sesko’s agent has already studied Arsenal’s style of play and believes his client fits their system well. As the old saying goes, the best way to prepare for tomorrow is to do today’s work with passion and wisdom. This potential signing could be a massive boost for Arteta, especially with plans to pair Sesko with rising star Kai Havertz in attack. Melbet Affiliates also confirms that Sesko has been selected in Slovenia’s Euro 2024 squad and will face England in the group stage—a stage where Premier League scouts will no doubt be watching closely.
