Arsenal's summer transfer plans have hit a stumbling block as RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko has reportedly decided to stay in Germany, dealing a blow to Mikel Arteta's attacking reinforcements.
The Gunners had identified the Slovenian international as a prime target, but the 21-year-old has chosen to extend his stay at Leipzig, where he scored 18 goals last season.
Partey Exit Gathers Pace
Meanwhile, Thomas Partey's departure from the Emirates appears increasingly likely, with Saudi Arabian clubs showing strong interest in the Ghanaian midfielder. The 30-year-old's injury-plagued season has made him expendable as Arteta looks to refresh his squad.
New Striker Target Emerges
With Sesko off the table, Arsenal have turned their attention to a £45m-rated alternative. While the club remains tight-lipped about the identity of their new target, sources suggest they're looking at proven goalscorers who can immediately strengthen their frontline.
The North London club are determined to build on last season's title challenge and see attacking reinforcements as crucial to bridging the gap to champions Manchester City.
