BBC: Signing Seskobe is difficult with expectations, Arsenal has made progress in introducing Yorke
Arsenal has not yet introduced new attackers, and their top priority this summer is to sign a center and are also pushing to introduce players from other offensive positions. BBC reporter Sami Mokbel posted a message talking about the Gunners' current forward signing progress.
It is understood that Cesco has received strong support from Arsenal's senior management and the recognition of Arteta. The player's agent Barsanovic attended Arsenal's last home game of the season as an invited person, but Cesco's transaction has not been smooth. According to sources, there is no agreement between the player and Arsenal, let alone negotiations between the two clubs. Breakthroughs may certainly come at any time, but the current situation shows that signing Seskobe is expected to be much more difficult.
Part of the reason may be that there has been some turmoil in the club's top leaders in recent months, and as we all know, Arsenal has been interested in Cesco for a long time, and Barçovic has established a good relationship with former Gunners director Edu and Eto. But with the departure of the two and the new sports director Berta starting to lead the negotiations, the relationship cultivated by both sides is no longer a key factor. In recent days, there have been signs that Arsenal has turned its attention to other goals. However, the deadlock with Sesco may also be an Arsenal strategy to test whether the opponent will lower the demands.
Arsenal has made potential progress in introducing Yorke in recent days, and it is worth noting that the player has received support from Berta. Previously, Yorke was not Arsenal's key signing target, but Berta believes that the 27-year-old Swedish striker can immediately have an impact on the team. Although there have been huge contradictions on transfer issues between Yorke and Portuguese recently, players are said to be very eager to join Arsenal.
Whether you sign Sesco or Yorke, the transfer fee is expected to exceed 70 million pounds. Therefore, Villa forward Watkins became another option, the player who was once Arsenal's target in January was also cheaper, allowing the team to have more funds to strengthen other positions. As an Arsenal fan, Watkins himself is open to joining. He and Yorke are said to be the possible targets for Arsenal to discuss in recent days.
