June 16 The Mirror reported the latest developments in Arsenal's introduction of forwards, and the Gunners are currently actively promoting the signing of Yorke Cres and Cesco.

Although Arsenal did not formulate plans to sign two strikers at the same time, sporting director Berta remained open and negotiated in depth with the two players. The Gunners also do not rule out action on other targets, and the Gunners are still following him after failing to pursue Villa forward Watkins in January. Arsenal had previously been linked with Isaac and Alvarez, but Yorkez and Cesco are still the most likely targets at the moment.

On June 6, the Mirror revealed that although Manchester United and teams from Spain and Italy are interested in Yorke, players are more inclined to join Arsenal. But Yorke and his agent had conflicts with the Portuguese president on the terms of the contract, which may be an important reason for the transfer deadlock. And Arsenal had to weigh several options when pursuing a striker, and price was a major factor.

22-year-old Sesco may leave Leipzig for more than £60 million transfer fees. Last summer, Cesco was close to joining Arsenal, but eventually decided to stay in Germany for another year. Although other clubs have shown interest in Cesco, including Bayern, Arsenal has done a lot of work last year and coach Arteta is very optimistic about his potential.

However, it cannot be ignored that Arteta still highly praised Havertz's ability and versatility as a striker. Yorkress is not young, maybe he is more like a fighter. However, considering his previous experience in Brighton and Coventry, there are still certain risks in introducing him from the Portuguese Super League.

Yorcres is a standard No. 9 player, and Sesco is fast, tall and has great potential, which means that Sesco can partner with Havertz. Cesco has more room to grow, and in some ways even looks very similar to Isaac. As for Villa's Watkins, he has a strong interest in transferring to Arsenal.

Arsenal has adopted an unusual strategy in the search for the right striker, and Berta has a good reputation, but he faces great pressure in this job. For Arsenal, not only does it need to sign a top striker, they also need enough funds to buy other players, such as Real Sociedad midfielder Zubi Mendi, who is about to join for £51 million.

transfer players, Arsenal has rejected AC Milan's inquiry about Calafiori, and the Italian defender himself hopes to stay in London. So AC Milan is now turning to Zinchenko, 28, who has one more year contract but has lost his position, and his £200,000 weekly salary will help the Gunners adjust their roster this summer. While salary issues are a big obstacle, AC Milan is determined to make the deal happen.

Previously, the Ross and Blacks also paid attention to Kiviol, but he performed well at the end of the season and Arsenal may want him to stay. Arsenal also has Ajax's Harto, but the Gunners also hope to sell some players, which will help them introduce new players.
