Who is Benjamin Sesko? Arsenal target Chelsea and Man Utd-linked star compared to Erling Haaland

Arsenal are working behind the scenes to prepare for the summer transfer window, as they look to bring in new additions. At the top of the list will be to sign a new forward.

The Gunners were knocked out of the Champions League quarter-finals with a 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in Germany on Wednesday night. Joshua Kimmich scored the only goal that separated the sides at the Allianz Arena.

After the game, Mikel Arteta admitted that the club are short of a striker who can score a significant amount of goals in a season, suggesting that might have been key to their qualification to the semi-finals of the competition. He said: «The reality is we don’t have a striker who is going to score 35, 40 goals – and we have to live with that.

»We have many other qualities. And today’s the day to stick behind the players because they have given us so much, they have taken us on this journey and we still have the Premier League to play."

Arsenal have scored 75 goals in the Premier League this season, which is a figure surpassed by only Manchester City on 76 goals. Bukayo Saka is the Gunners' top goal scorer with 18 goals but he has been heavily relied on which has had an impact on his performance levels.

football.london understands that Sesko is on the club's wishlist ahead of the summer transfer window as Arteta looks to boost his attacking options for next season. The Evening Standard meanwhile, claims that club officials have scouted the 20-year-old this season.

With that said, we have taken a look at the latest name to be linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium.
