Arsenal Transfer News Show: Benjamin Sesko REJECTS move - Zirkzee talks Fofana & Murillo interest

People deluded I'm back again as we know during this offseason news in relation to transfers and whatnot is always ever breaking I'm sure you lot at this point would have seen the video I released earlier today so big up to you lot for being here if you haven't go and tune into that one and again big up you lot for tuning in and supporting the content like comment and subscribe let me share my screen with you lot and let's go over everything and let me not waste your time now speaking of not wasting time in truth I'm exhausted with the Benjamin Sesco stuff long story short he's allegedly committing his future to LiveSick signing a new and improved deal which removes the release clause and has a gentleman's agreement that he can exit in 2025 or 2026 I don't doubt it but you know gentlemen and business they rarely ever coexist really and if it's not in cold-hearted writing but hey they control all the aces and as we know with the market there isn't too many great household names that you could say could really do a job so if you've got a 21 year old who you know LiveSick know that he's going to stay for a couple of seasons which he's committed to staying more they're going to sell him either to the British market you know I tried to get him last last summer they tried along with Arsenal and Chelsea now um or somewhere else and make significant profit and to be honest with you you know again he just joined LiveSick he's been there a year started slow doing his thing there's no rush to make the move you know he's allowed to develop relatively out of the spotlight as much as you can say that for a team in the Bundesliga that have played in the Champions League but yeah he's expected to sign a new contract and it also suggests what is said in the media as I always say and what's going on in the footballing world are two different realms because it was almost imminent that he was allegedly signing for Arsenal this week so it is what it is I would have loved him because I think he doesn't break the budget really and it gives us flexibility in other areas he's 21 so he ties in with the long term I've said it before and I'll say it again I genuinely believe in the next two years he'll be an even more household name and I guess we'll see what's going on in the Euros people Cesco was said to have a release clause in his deal that would have made him available for 55 million until the end of June which we're ever approaching two weeks left he will sign an improved deal with the German club ahead of the Euros which starts on Friday which will be doing what he longs for um you know his country Slovenia will be playing Serbia Denmark and England so I guess we'll get to see him up close and personal he did get 18 goals in all comps last season as it says there including in his seven in his last seven Bundesliga matches again Joshua Zerksy is someone that apparently he's got strong interest from AC Milan some news outlets actually say he's agreed personal terms but you know because Arsenal and Man United in particular are looking for strikers and have obviously missed out on Cesco it's going to be daily Joshua Zerksy news people when I think of him I think his goal scoring can improve his goal scoring is not eye-catching at this moment but I think as I've said before when I think of Joshua I think of play-making I think in terms of pressing in terms of you know being a creative outlet up front I think he does all of those things Mikel Arteta wants in a better team a more front-footed team obviously Mikel Arteta can work on him individually and collectively he's a quality player I wouldn't play him as a 10 but he's one of them kind of strikers if that makes sense like he it's like he's a 10 and those are some interesting stats obviously he got 11 goals last season for Bologna as they got Champions League football and Thiago Mota has actually gone to Juventus speaking of Juventus he wants to bet money on how long it takes the media outlets to link us with Vlachovic but you know he's he got 11 goals and four assists which puts him at you know 10th and 8th respectively he's fifth for chances created he's first for dribbles completed for possession one he's second and for touches so again you know ultimately I do believe we need a striker that can get the goals he hasn't got the CV to suggest such and he has had a couple of injuries but I do think he would be a good signing and he's six foot plus as well and I think he's actually what his release clause is 30 40 odd million quid so similar to Sesco it doesn't necessarily break the bank in relation to Arsenal United both clubs are understood to be keeping a close eye on developments with the striker who is among a number of attacking options for Arsenal United this summer apparently Milan are still pushing to sign a 23 year old and apparently they've actually held talks in London around him nothing's been agreed so both teams have a chance but they still remain in contact with his reps he's got two years left to run on a 34 million sorry on his contract which has a 34 million pounds in brackets 40 million euros release clause but hey we'll have to see in that regards I mean we have been linked with Izak that's a movie really you know if you ain't got 90 million to begin a conversation forget about it and they're not gonna accept nothing less than that as a minimum they probably want 100 odd Ivan Tony it seems it's gone quiet on that front yesterday we were linked with Dominic Solanke Osserman has expressed his desire to one day play in the Premier League and his release clause is at around 100 million and his wages is probably a mad madness where the budget's concerned I would love Yocheres it seems like that's gone quiet Gerasi I don't think is the right option for us but at the same time if you got 28 goals in 28 games you're doing something all right once again initially Fabrizio Romano said Benjamin Sesco decided to accept the proposal from Leipzig he stays at the club and extends his contract we expect Sesco to sign his contract really soon it's agreed it's done Sesco is not going to the Premier League and then he followed that up by saying despite receiving many proposals from the Premier League Sesco decides to stay at Leipzig my information Sesco had many possibilities first new contract proposal from Leipzig but also two proposals from Saudi with a you know apparently a net salary of 30 million a year which at 21 boy you can set your family up for life but that wasn't probably going to happen and again it's he said it here Arsenal Chelsea and Man United all wanted to sign him and I guess we'll all be queuing up in the years to come people again everybody's kind of saying the same thing we know it hasn't worked out we know his reps and his agent have been trying to decide his future before he goes off to the Euros and we're at where we're at this article once again says we could reignite our interest in Joshua Zersky and also has said that you know where the two Swedish strikers in Alexander Ryzak and Joker as a concern our interest hasn't gone away a move for Ivan Toni looks unlikely once again Mikel Arteta we've seen this in several outlets would like a left-back a central midfielder and a winger but any arrivals are likely to have to be balanced by sales of course you know that's how you run a business there's understood to be strong interest in Thomas Partey from Saudi Arabia and Ketia Smith from Reece Nelson are also available for transfer so really and truly people are just saying the same things in creative ways it's like your homework they're taking the last paragraph and putting it first we know we're going to need to get some sales on we know we've been linked with several of those strikers we've been told Mikel Arteta wants a central midfielder a winger and potentially a striker left-back rumors have been very aggressive and we all know you know Thomas Partey and Ketia Smith from Nelson and plenty of players the future are subject to speculation once again I actually think I won't quite say Cesco's made the right decision because I don't know but I just think people forget especially with young players stability you know he's gaining importance at Leipzig as shown by the new contract and how he ended it you've got a stable environment you know respectfully to them you've got a club that recognize that we can try and achieve things and aspire to win things but we bring in these young players develop them and then we sell them there's a long list of players you know even people that went on loan like someone like Xavi Simmons done quite well at Leipzig so yeah man Romano said from what I understand he believes that this is the best decision for his development it's not about money if he wanted money he had big possibilities and big salaries in the Premier League he believes staying at Leipzig for one more season and having the possibility to be a crucial player for the squad for the entire season is the best option for his development so again where Man Utd is concerned does he reckon he could play ahead of Rammus Huisland where Chelsea is concerned you know whether it's Nkunku or anyone who's going to play up front does he reckon he gets ahead of them does he reckon he would get enough first team football in comparison to Kai Havertz I'm not too sure Gabriel Jesus in which I think he would but at the end of the day and I won't even say you're a guaranteed star at Leipzig because it took you a while to go if you reckon that you ultimately minutes of currency if you reckon you've got a better opportunity there then I think this is smart really and truly the club was pushing a lot to keep in the manager assisting on this one and now Sesco decides to accept because he believes it's the best possibility to build for his future into his new contract there's a new gentleman's agreement between Sesco his agents and Leipzig to leave the club in the summer of 2025 or 2026 with different conditions compared to the 65 million euro clause for this summer now maybe it will come out that there's a new and increased release clause if you're Leipzig you probably want to remove that full stop because you control the variables and again the striker market is poor so if you've got an appreciating asset who if he scores 18 plus goals or more next summer it's more cha-ching-ching you get where we're going with that people Sesco's decision to remain at Leipzig does not necessarily mean that Arsenal will switch their attention to another central forward the club are also keen to strengthen in wide positions and may prioritize a winger instead of a more traditional striker I'm sure Sesco was a target and they had every other ones but I think if they they're not asked Arteta and Edu have shown for better or worse we're not just going to sign someone for the sake of it so if we can't if the striking alternatives we fail to get agreements done or you know I don't know Jokeres and Izak are too expensive a deal for Osserman can't be done Joshua Zerks goes AC Milan Sesco has said for example just because these guys have been linked with us at some point then I think you know what they'll say it's better than no is you know someone isn't always better than no one let's find a winger and we have to be open to many flexibilities but for me ideal world or ideal ideal world would be apologies apologies messing up my whole flow almost died there but um you know maybe someone put a curse on me but as I was saying ideal ideal ideal world if that would make sense would be a winger and a striker ideal world would be a striker other ideal world would be you know you can't get a striker can you get a winger that can get a certain amount of numbers like again I don't have any names but you know if you had a Mo Salah or Son Heung-min in his prime kind of offset the difference in that regards people so we have to be open to it one position I will not accept anything less than in addition is central midfield if you can get someone that can play in a bunch of roles great but central midfield and that long-term partner for Declan uh Dean Jones has said there have been some whispers over the weekend that asked we're happy to let the sesco rumors keep flying as they were doing other work behind the scenes which is true but you know you this is so funny about all these journalists they'll come out and say this after but you know we're peddling the rhetoric around sesco um once again people again the six foot four Slovenian sesco is elected to stay at Leipzig and as usual we're going to get linked with other ones fire north Santiago Jimenez his name has been thrown back into the ring people um and to be honest sesco zersky and Jimenez in theory would add something different to us when they all got age on their side people we got 91 premier league goals last season I remember Mikel Arteta saying we need to be a team that can score 100 goals and we did do that in all comps but in the premier league we're nine short and you just wonder yeah if we had another attacking option any defeats we've taken this season could it have been turned into draws any draws could that have been turned into three points and you all know how last season ended and the points tally and stuff if we just had four plus points more as a minimum where would we be so it's about getting that edge and it's almost impossible against Pep Guardiola's Man City especially in what could be this upcoming season Pep's last one so I'm sure he wants to do the five in a row um you know apparently obviously long story short Kai Havertz up front has probably changed our not changed our thinking but probably eased our thinking in relation to a pressing need for a striker in that regards we all know Gabriel is at the club Nico Williams is always linked with Arsenal I don't know what to make of that it does say he's of interest though his wages may prove a stumbling block um Arteta has spoken of the need for Arsenal to create magic moments in attack and Crystal Palace winger Elise is one player on the market who could provide that for them we pardon me who wouldn't want Elise but it seems like it that's a fight between Manchester United and Chelsea in which Chelsea appeared to be winning based on reports we don't know of people Arsenal have huge confidence in their attack and the key this summer is to add depth to it okay that's great and once again Nelson Smith Rowe Aaron Ramsdale and the usual suspects have been made available for transfer Romano has said Yusuf Bifana is 100% leaving Monaco this summer the CEO of Monaco as well as Bifana have more or less alluded to that before people but for what it's worth he said at the moment it's a I've heard he just wants to try something new and Monaco don't want to lose him for free in 2025 so both parties are keen on an exit for the summer apparently he went on to say he was on the list for Man United last summer Arsenal have been sending their scouts multiple times to follow him in recent months and years at Monaco so let's see if Arsenal will decide to go for Bifana I've done a video tactically looking over him you would have seen a few years ago before he's at Monaco France has been a goldmine one wonders had we have just moved early for Camavinga for Bifana where would we be I know they're not Brazilian I mean they know they're not French and they're Brazilian but they're played they played in France at a point Pequeta or Gomarez where would we be a bit like Izak at Sociedad hindsight's a wonderful thing everybody's smart in hindsight but you get the point people so yeah we're admiring him apparently Ryan Taylor of the Express has said we're admirers of Bifana and have held initial talks with his reps but at this stage discussions have not gone any further than that so there's got to be some legs to it if we're having some sort of level of discussion and if we're sending scouts he has to be somewhat thought of at Arsenal really we have been linked with Murillo of Nottingham Forest before I don't know if you're gonna you know you're Brazilian like get big Gabriel but I don't know if you'll be able to take his spot when we was linked with him in the first few months a few months ago and then links first around started doing my homework and I think he's a bit raw in certain aspects but I can see why they might want him but they're gonna ask for a lot of money apparently Edu is pushing for his signature in the 20 where the 21 year olds involve people Arsenal brought in Paulo Javier from Real Madrid as a scout Javier Xavier or whatever was part of the team that identified global stars like Vinicius Jr, Rodrigo and Hendrick it's thought that Murillo has been on Arsenal's radar for some time that's great and Edu and this scout I know it's easier said than done but Edu is Brazilian as well we can't be going back to Brazil we big up big us up for finding Martinelli but we can't be going back to Brazil and rocking up with Marquinhos you know last time I checked our right winger was actually playing right back on loan back in Brazil you need to come with some Vinicius or Rodrigo or that you what's his name Estalvio is going Chelsea he's actually quite good I hate the fact that he signed for them we need to get one of these lit guys apparently they want 60 to 70 million for Murillo and I mean I'm all for it you know another defensive body I guess he does like to dribble with a ball as well for a defender he's almost like a younger unpolished Gabriel to a degree there's them similarities with when Gabriel was first at the club I just can't see us spending 60 70 on a centre half not because I don't think we can or there's no intention to but if we're more likely to spend significant fees surely you're more likely to quote-unquote do that for a winger a striker a central midfielder which on the face of it I would like another defensive body but is it guaranteed that at this moment in time this guy is going to get ahead of potentially Benjamin White Tomiasu and Timbaugh if they had to play centre half let alone Gabriel and Saliba doesn't do back him respectfully to get ahead of Kyrio though you could even throw Declan Rice into that debate that's why I want another centre half because or another versatile attacker because we do have depth and we do have players if need be that could play there but if we don't get more depth and for god you know god forbid but just for argument's sake if that kind I'm sure there was a point last season Declan played in a game for a point at centre half but if Declan has to move centre half if Benjamin White has to move to centre half there's holes in the team and then you know injuries rarely ever come in one it's always two so we do need to pattern up the depth I think Spurs will probably more likely press ahead with that one speaking of Spurs we've been linked with ex-Spurs man Marcus Edwards as well people I don't really buy into that but we have you know Chido Obi Martin has been in the papers in the last 24 hours he's had a great season as a school boy I've gone over this before but Bayern Munich are apparently trying to get him Romano has said he's still open with his situation Bayern and Borussia Dortmund have been showing interest in the talented striker for months but Arsenal are still there still trying to get him to sign a new contract and keep Chido at the club let's see what happens in the next days fair enough if he stays he stays if not tough luck Kiriol consistently being linked with Arsenal with a departure from Arsenal Football Club allegedly Thiago Mota has made a specific request for the club to sign Kiriol Arsenal want at least 20 million euros to sanction a sale which the event is deemed to be excessive and believe Arsenal could lower their demands later this month rumours of him going to Italy haven't gone away I think we can I know Italian clubs like to play broke but you know unless another set of half comes in it doesn't make sense or if Kiriol pushes for a move finally allegedly Arsenal are keen to sign a third choice goalkeeper in the imminent transfer window sources have told football insider and it's likely to be a homegrown player so technically this summer we could sign three goalkeepers Raya permanently obviously a number two and then another and a backup choice I mean if we could go and find a Scott Carson who's good for the squad then why not so we'll have to see exactly what's going on in that regards but on note let me know your thoughts and everything I've gone on go gone over people smash the like button
