Arsenal begin Guimarães talks -Zubimendi deal -LEADING THE SESKO RACE! Latest News Show

People deluded I'm back again as we draw to an end of the Premier League season with our last game being against Everton or for some Arsenal fans who were twerking for Spurs we played yesterday actually well some of you played yesterday where Spurs lost to Manchester City you know we mocked Spurs about being bottlers and serial bottlers and you lot put your trust in them fair enough I understand the rhetoric and the logic but why you would do that I don't know I made videos trying to show you lot why you shouldn't sell your soul and although it is difficult to beat Manchester City and once again logically obviously them dropping points helps us out we need to control the variables that we can control now we can't go back in time so in to some degree talking about Newcastle about West Ham about the two games against Fulham or Aston Villa and any other points Arsenal have dropped points ironically the first North London derby and the first game at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea it's been all gone we have to go back in time when the season's done and see the fine margins that you know in many ways we're getting close to City but as you know City where some people have said they're at their worst are still yards above everyone and similar to last season there's no shame in losing out on a Premier League trophy to City and again I know we can't win every game but the game you know if we just picked up three more points look at the position we'd be in that's neither here nor there big up you lot for being tuned in as we draw to the end of the Premier League season transfer news rumours opinions all of these things are starting to circulate now 99.9% of them are probably BS nonetheless it makes for great talking points firstly just before I went online actually people and this is why you should always have lunch because if I never had lunch I would have missed out this article Benjamin Sesco a player who I'm very fond of and he's a 20 year old able to play out wide works the channels well good general play in a rich run of form again very much in the elementary stage of his career very raw in certain regards but in his early 20s there's a lot of upside in my opinion and a player Arsenal have been linked with consistently for the last few months and again today Arsenal plot move for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesco and Yocheres has actually really been linked with Arsenal and been linked with Man United as well people the Sevilla attacker could cost in excess of 60 million pounds his value is boosted by recent form of the RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga now again he has a release clause we've since found out check out the other videos that there's certain things in his contract that makes the release clause go up it isn't the most money required where you look at and I'm not saying is that is a better or worse option but is that's costing 80 to 100 odd million Yocheres has a release clause which is a lot and sporting are going to make it hard to prize him you know Oseman is costing over 100 million euros Arsenal might say do you know what Sesco allows us to invest in other areas be that bringing regardless you know if you signed Isaka Oseman you probably should be bringing in a wide man but maybe 60 million you know that extra 40 million you know from not spending 100 million on someone could be put towards a winger clearly we need to address central midfield I think you know we need a striker that's going to really put competition on Kai Havertz's form and give us a different option a winger that can ease the burden on Martinelli and put a lot of pressure on Martinelli and obviously Trossart and indirectly Saka a blockbusting changer in central midfield because although I like Kai Havertz playing up front the central mid experiment for this season did not work and we need to get that left-hand side going a bit like how it was last season we haven't got a left-sided eight obviously we've had mixed form with some of our wingers mainly the main one Martinelli and there's been inconsistencies in the availability of who's been at left back so I think that would be the free game changing sort of players for our start in 11. Indirectly you have a stronger squad I'm not saying to drop Kai Havertz I hope this form continues he's backed up his manager by putting in the work and it's lovely but you know if you've got Kai Havertz continuing this you've got a striker only one of them there's other possibilities but only one of them can start one of them's on the bench that's a stronger bench between Trossart Martinelli and probably not Saka but Saka as well you get another winger that's genuinely putting pressure and ideally able to play on both sides somebody is on the bench a central midfielder somebody who's starting or has played the games this season is on the bench so we indirectly get a stronger squad then it's obviously about probably finding a backup goalie I do think we could do with a versatile defender or a couple of defensive recruitments in terms of depth so yeah people I'm a big fan of of Sesco Sam Dean has said Arsenal have a strong interest in RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesco and are considering a move for the Sevillian international in this summer's transfer window the telegraph sports understands that rival suitors believe Arsenal are now in pole position to sign the 20-year-old should the north London side choose to formalize their interests one of Arsenal's top summer priorities is to strengthen their front line and Sesco a six foot five central forward which obviously you've seen in the last 18 months to three years we've added a lot of height in our team he would follow suit in that regards would add a different option to Mikel Arteta's attack he previously spent four years at Salzburg before joining Leipzig in 2023 he was regarded as a teenage prodigy in his early part of his career and has scored 13 goals in 30 Bundesliga appearances this season he has enjoyed an impressive run of form in recent weeks scoring in each of his past six games on the international stage he has 11 goals in 28 appearances for Sevilla now I should have done my research I'm pretty sure Sevilla are in the euros I could be wrong but that could be a platform for him to attract more interest according to German reports Sesco's release clause previously stood at about 43 million however Sky Germany reported earlier this month that the clause has increased as a result of his excellent performances and now could cost as high as 64 million Sesco who turns 21 at the end of this month would represent a long-term addition for Arsenal with potential to improve and grow at the squad the successful deployment of Kai Havertz and a striker in the second half of the season has lessened the club's need to recruit a ready-made experience forward but we do need a striker in some capacity or let's say reinforcements his agent was spotted at the Arsenal versus Manchester United game both clubs have been linked with him he's been aggressively linked with AC Milan and you can't rule Chelsea out as well I didn't even look at that part of the article people that's how you know I do my homework but it said it's it said such there people he also said it'd be nice to play in the Premier League as well once upon a time apparently we're still monitoring Bologna forward Joshua Zersky who they've qualified for the Champions League I don't know if he's going to want to leave at this moment in time I guess it all depends on Thiago Mota Victor Llorez is another player we've been linked with and obviously he played quite on his future during sport in Lisbon's trophy lifting and you know when they're on the open bus and enjoying life we all know we're going to have to you know offset the spending that we probably can make with some sales and the likes of Aaron Ramsdale, Eddie Nketiah, Emil Smith-Rowe, Thieny Tavares, Lokongo, Izrela, Reece Nelson's future is subject to speculation and it still says we're huge admirers of Gerald Hatto of Ajax who if it's up to me you get that done and you bring him in tomorrow people we all know at least for the summer we've spent you know 27 million we've given 3 million to Brentford already we owe them 27 million when not if David Ryer's move is made permanent so at this moment in time we've technically already bought a player and ironically you could make a case of we need to sign two goalies I hope Ramsdale stays because you're going to make the Euros obviously I think the summer of 2025-26 you'd probably need to move on because you've got the World Cup at the end of that campaign but I hope Ramsdale stays just so we don't have to do this but for Ramsdale's sake while it could be difficult probably need to keep it moving again people we've been linked with João Neves of Benfica 19 year old I love his technical ability but if there's away from the obvious you would expect of a Portuguese central midfielder which we've covered him before I might actually do a video on him one of the analytical ones check out the other videos I've done in that regard it's the mentality like I think he displays leadership qualities of you know someone way mature than a 19 year old he's going to cost a lot of money we've got a lot of clubs interested in him the price tags go as high as 100 million but apparently Graham Bailey has said Arsenal have added the 19 year old Benfica midfielder to their list of midfield options and have intensified their scouting of him in recent weeks a follow-up tweet or a follow-up comment from Graham Bailey says Martin Zubermendy remains Arsenal's top choice and the club are busy trying to work on the deal with Mikel Arteta himself working hard to persuade the player to make the move however Arsenal are also doing their due diligence on other targets if Zubermendy proves unattainable been linked with a bunch of clubs these managers you know while you can't just take managers words for gospel has kind of played down stuff but I mean if you was to get you know Martin Zubermendy on the cheap and Cesco I think you know what that's about but that is probably about just shy of 100 million really because I think Zubermendy's release clause is about 50 odd million they're saying as high as 64 million for Cesco and I think those are two players that you know immediately improve our starting 11 where the other players are concerned the Jao Neves is the Bruno Gomarez which we're going to get onto they're going to cost a lot of money now if you pay peanuts for players then you get monkeys and I'm being very careful on that so I do think while if we can scout players that are lesser known and if you can find a player that could do a job into a suitable standard and be as amazing at 20 million as 100 I hear it do it really and half of these players that were linked with there was times Arsenal could have signed them before or and I always say everyone's got to start somewhere half of these players had to start somewhere really so due diligence and scouting could obviously help but if we're not always going to do that because every player you know isn't hidden under a rock really in this day and age you probably just got to spend the money I'm not saying we're gonna have you know like an 11 of players that cost 100 million but you know where Declan Rice is concerned you get what you pay for top quality player you know Kai Havertz it took a while but the 65 million looks well spent based on what he's adding to the squad would love to wake up and he looks like Balayek or Schweinsteiger in central midfield and we've got a multifunctional player because I think the false nine is the thing for him Fabrizio Romano has said another name to watch at Arsenal is Reece Nelson it's a possibility that he could leave the club there was interest in Nelson last summer but he ended up signing a new contract him and Ramsdale signed new deals which helps our negotiating hand still he will now consider proposals in the summer and Arsenal too they're not desperate to part ways only in the case there's a good proposal in the summer transfer window so I guess Nelson's happy at Arsenal you know he gets in the squad every now and again since players have become fit hasn't quite been the case for Nelson you know you see price tags as high as 30 odd million quid with if you was buying Reece Nelson I'm not saying he's not worth it he was once spoken about as the next big thing of Haylen which is why it's dangerous 30 million could be well spent but if you're buying him surely you're trying to do it for 15 and I think where Reece Nelson's concerned it takes two things for him to move on for him to really sit there and say you know what Arsenal's been a big part of my life I've been here since a child teenager young man full grown adult I've developed probably off the field as well as here we're doing great things the manager does like me I have got a role here but am I destined to play one game in a like am I destined to start am I destined to get five starts 10 starts how much am I going to develop you've seen a couple of your teammates you know and fellow haylenders get England call-ups and play more on a regular basis and he's seen his you know his boy like for instance Joel Willock or Jada Silva they've moved in or Iwobi they've gone to other Premier League clubs and they're cutting futures out for themselves really you don't want to get left behind minutes of currency and for Nelson to fulfill his potential I do believe the same with Venketia you probably need to go and play on a regular basis really and truly Romano has also said Gabriel Jesus has been mentioned as a target but at the moment he's not talking to any Saudi clubs they've actually the latest players to be linked of Iran Casimir and Bruno Fernandes to Saudi there are no proper negotiations ongoing it's just about interest it's the same for Thomas Pate he was a target for Saudi last summer but he's not in contact with them at the moment Romano has also said Arsenal will be busy I think it's going to be an exciting summer Arsenal will be there because they need a player in the defensive positions probably left back then a midfielder I see Arsenal signing an important midfielder in this summer transfer window for example Zouba Mendy is a player they like the advantage for Arsenal is they already have the manager with an important project so they know the players they like and Zouba Mendy is one of them Onanerat Everton is one of them also Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa they are some of the players that they really appreciate you'd imagine Aston Villa in the process of attempting to get Douglas Luiz to sign a new contract and obviously they're just qualified for the Champions League so I don't think players would be itching to leave really they will sign a strike up big up off-topic people but when Manchester City defeated Spurs obviously that confirmed Aston Villa would be in the Champions League and I think they were having their award show or whatever he I assume asked the Arsenal game well I say the Arsenal game you know a game with ramifications for Arsenal with Spurs and City was on and he looked like a boyhood Arsenal fan he looked vexed maybe the camera just caught him they will sign a striker let's see if they prefer to invest on a winger or a central forward I think Jokeres from Sporting Lisbon is a player they really like so a lot of journalists are saying different conflating things at this moment in time Ben Jacobs has said Newcastle don't want to lose Bruno Gomarez but it's understood offers exceeding 80 million could be entertained should Gomarez wish to leave for Champions League club it's also true that both Man City and Arsenal made contact with his camp contact so maybe the message got aired maybe there's been genuine conversations to see if there's feasibility me personally I've said I think him and Paqueta end up at Man City I think considering the treble that City did last season and how it's ended now which is still kind of great I just think they need some new blood and I think they will make some blockbuster kind of signings if I'm honest with you you know Guardiola was finding his feet Doku is getting minutes here and there but I would say hardly any of their summer signers are setting the world alight for the whole season and then you know Matthias Nunes is struggling at the moment Kovacic has also found his feet I do think City are due to sign some blockbusters Arsenal appreciate Gomarez but have no intention to trigger his 100 million release clause meaning they would only enter the race if the price drops and you would imagine just because Manchester City definitely have the resources to activate his release clause they might but from a business point of view you probably want to negotiate a bit and see if that price could drop people offers exceeding 80 million could be entertained so you never know man you know if you I don't know like they like Smith Rowe allegedly they like Ramsdale could they be used as make weights let me know your thoughts don't forget to subscribe keeping up the theme with Newcastle players and actually a position Arsenal need to improve which is a striker my understanding remains that Alexander Izak is not for sale although Arsenal appreciate the Swede they also are well aware of Newcastle's stance even though it's true the club need 30 to 50 million to ease any PSR concerns Izak is not a name they plan to sacrifice I reckon between Izak and Gomarez they don't want to lose either but they'll probably rather lose Gomarez and to be fair with you it's easier said than done but I'm sure there's certain other players in and around the Newcastle side that they will look to be sold that they'll look to move on or look to sell before they you know try to move those players on so we'll have to see people five options for Arsenal in the summer transfer window what is this Frankie de Jong let me know your thoughts on him he's going to cost a lot of money and has some injury concerns but in terms of his ability and maybe Barcelona's lack of financial muscle that could be someone and he once said you know he thought his career would be going to Arsenal and then Barcelona we've been linked to Zouba Mendy for a few years now we've gone over Bruno Gomarez we know there's an appreciation for our old Nana Locatelli was one that we was once linked with and a bit like Vlahovic we got burnt so I think we could leave that one what about Atalantis Koopminers Arsenal and Bayern Munich joined Barcelona in the race to sign Xavi Simmonds' people the 21 year old is currently on loan at Leipzig from PSG imagine not wanting to integrate him into the first team he has also been linked with City if Arsenal could get this man who has nine goals and 13 assists in all comps you know following on his strong spell at PSV and now doing his thing at Leipzig if PSG want to move him on let's get this done really and truly man he's going to cost a lot PSG want more than 60 million in brackets 52 if they are to part ways with the winger a fee that Barca may be unable to match Arsenal however could look to sign Simmonds as they seek to bring in more goal scoring prowess at the Emirates I mean he can play as a 10 technically as an 8 and actually off the left but I reckon he'd want to play off the right which obviously you've got Saka so you can never say never would love it to happen think it's a great addition but yeah I just think if the club are more like I think the club are more likely to spend significantly in a striking top striking player or someone that can cover those positions and essential midfielder which Xavi Simmonds can play you know big up Posta Koglu he's the only man connected to Spurs that's not a loser I'm sure you've all seen the videos where he's shouting at one of the fans probably an Arsenal fan pretending to be a Spurs fan Jeremy Fringpong rumours won't go away Real Madrid Manchester United and Arsenal I bargain move for the Bayern Leverkusen star and on top of him just being a good right back and him doing great things and I'm sure Xhaka would give him a glowing character reference don't think he's the best defensively but going forward he could give us something technically I know he plays for Holland and he's been at Celtic and Leipzig but he came through at Man City so he's homegrown so if you're going to lose Eddie Nketiah Ramsdale Smith Rowe and Nelson and all of these guys we need homegrown players or players that count to that ilk so yeah people both Manchester clubs Real Madrid as well as Arsenal have all been name dropped as being interested in the 23 year old attacking right back we've also once again been linked with Xhau Cancelo people that's probably a lot of nonsense as Barcelona probably tried to be a bit cute and clever and negotiate either significantly reduced terms to what was agreed with Man City or engineer another loan move for you know the technically still Man City player but current loanee at Barcelona I mean in terms of being an inverted fullback he can't really defend to the greatest standard as seen in the champs for the penalty he gave away but he fits what Arteta is wanting to do and I wouldn't be against it but I just think that it's paper talk big up Arsenal ladies there's another departure Arsenal women goalkeeper Sabrina D'Angelo will leave the club upon the aspiry of her contract we need to bring in some players for our women's team because we're losing Miedema and you know I need to see Arsenal playing on TV and Miedema at her new club she's actually been linked with City because I'm not saying anything people and it's just a joke but have you ever seen Odegaard and Miedema in the same place let me know there's a bit of a conspiracy theory going on there we was once linked with Celta Vigo's Gabi Vigo who obviously departed Spain for Saudi Arabia and 21 years of age getting a lot of money securing his family's future for generations probably does want to come back to you know Europe really and apparently Aston Villa are keen to sign him so I wonder how long before he's linked with Arsenal they're trying to get Carlos Soler so the Spaniard Emery is trying to bolster his squad and to be fair Aston Villa got a good a good team they probably need to get a good squad because we saw with Newcastle you know on top of the challenges in the Premier League the more games in the fixture calendar list it could come back to bite them but Emery could get these players they're in the champs Aston Villa in my opinion spent their money well and they've coped really with with life post Jack Grealish really so yeah man I expect us to be linked with him as well we've gone over that with Fabrizio Romano PSG would not accept a loan offer for Xavi Simmonds making his signing impossible for Barcelona if they want to sell him for a high fee this summer fair play Arsenal ready to accept offers on several fringe players we've been knowing that people and again we were still being linked with and a few of our players are still subject to speculation so let me know your thoughts on potentially signing Gomarez what you make of Zouba Mendy and Onana and Douglas Luiz which player would you prefer do you want Izak do you believe in Sesco would you want Jokeres let me know your thoughts on everything Arsenal everything we've discussed people also how do
