Arsenal are ready to submit a £59m bid for the ‘monster’ CF

We are entering the domestic part of the transfer window, and as things stand, Arsenal they have yet to take a step.

Mikel Arteta foreign are still only in Premier League title race but have been completely decimated by injuries to key players such as Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Ethan Nwaneri and now William Saliba, making their lack of work so far particularly puzzling.

Add to this the fact that former title rivals Manchester City are pushing hard for signings this month and they look set to win very exciting Omar Marmoushand it’s easy to understand why some Arsenal fans are starting to worry.

However, they may not need much longer, as recent reports have praised the in-form striker who is set to move to the Emirates this month, a striker who could be their answer to Marmoush.

Arsenal are targeting their own Marmoush

According to a recent report from SpainArsenal have maintained a strong interest in RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sešek.

In fact, a report has now revealed that the Gunners have ‘decided to step up’ their pursuit of the Slovenian and are willing to offer close to €70m – £59m – to seal the deal this month.

The report claims that this development is down to Arteta pushing the board, but as things stand, it is unclear whether such an offer will be enough to induce Leipzig to sell.

It could be an expensive and demanding transfer to get over the line this month, but given Seško’s impressive form over the last year or so and the potential many believe he has, he’s worth fighting for, especially as he could be Arsenal’s answer. to Marmoush.

Why Šeško should be Arsenal’s Marmoush

Okay, so there are a few reasons why Sesko would be Arsenal’s answer to Manchester City’s signing of Marmoush this month.

The first is the obvious fact that, like the defending champions, this signing would see the North Londoners go big in the German transfer market and sign one of the Bundesliga’s most exciting players.

This point of similarity links to another: this transfer would represent the signing of an incredibly dangerous striker by the Gunners who could come in and make an immediate impact in the first team, similar to City.

For example, in only 42 appearances for Leipzig last season, the “monster” born in Radeč, as dubbed by analyst Ben Mattinsonscored 18 goals and two assistswhile this year he scored 16 goals and assists in 25 appearances, which equates to a goal share averaging every 2.1 games last season and every 1.56 games this season.

For its part, the Egyptian phenomenon intensified 23 goals and an assist in 41 appearances for Eintracht Frankfurt last year and incredible 34 in 26 appearances this seasonwhich means an average participation in a goal every 1.78 and 0.76 games, respectively.

Now, while the similarities between the two strikers and their potential Premier League moves are obvious, there are two key differences between them that could work in the Gunners’ favour, the first being their ages.

The Cairo-born superstar is set to turn 26 in a few weeks, while the former RB Salzburg star will not turn 22 until the end of the season.

While that may not seem like much on paper, it suggests the latter will be able to perform at the highest level for far longer and has years to reach his full potential.

For example, according to the conducted research published by The Athletic a few years agothe age at which wide players peak is 26, while centre-forwards usually don’t reach their peak until 27, and when you consider how much the Leipzig star has improved season after season, who knows how good he’ll be in five years’ time or something like that.

Finally, Arteta has shown a penchant for signing physically imposing players in recent years, and at a whopping 6ft 5, it’s fair to say Šeško is undeniably a formidable striker compared to the 6ft Marmoush, and the very idea of ​​a Slovenian powerhouse at the end of the line Nicolas Jover should scare the rest of the league.

Ultimately, Arsenal are in desperate need of attacking reinforcements this month, and while it won’t come cheap, the board must do everything they can to sign Šeško or risk being left behind by their rivals.
