Berta closes by signing “New Haaland” for Arsenal

Last summer, Arsenal had to sign a new centre forward. Benjamin Sesco was in their crosshairs, but he ended up signing a new contract with his current employer, RB Leipzig.

In the end, we went without the gunners. The only signature to strengthen the forward line was Raheem Sterling.

Chelsea lender promised we would see his best. That didn’t happen.

In January, Mikel Arteta was screaming for the striker again, but it didn’t come anytime soon. What happened next? Kai Herberts suffered a nasty hamstring injury during a warm weather training camp in Dubai.

Arsenal’s Premier League form suffered dramatically, and ultimately tripped them in Paris when they left the Champions League in the semi-final stage.

So, a year after the new centre forward was supposed to arrive first, Arteta and Co returned to Square One and chased Sesko again.

Arsenal approaches signing ahead of the new center

If you bring Mikel Merino up and end the campaign, you’ll see that something is significantly wrong.

All fair, Merino was fine. It’s fine to be a keyword. He was no exception and not the spearhead needed to win the Premier League or Continental title, but he scored six goals on 12 outings as a striker.

That’s not bad at all, but that’s not what Victor Gyoker scored with 54 goals. It’s not the 27 goals Alexander Isaac scored. It’s not even the 21 goals Sesco has scored.

All three of these players are excellent signatures, but it’s Sesko who appears most likely to arrive at this time.

It is via Sport Witness, according to the German publication Bild. They reported Wednesday that the deal is beginning to advance to the players’ side.

In fact, Build says that Arsenal has “consensus reached” in personal terms between them and the striker.

While that doesn’t mean something wrapped up in Leipzig, the report points out that Arsenal informs the Vandesliga club that they are planning to bid not below expectations financially.

You could potentially receive an offer of between £68 million and £855 million to convince you of the sale.

How Sesco replicates Pierre Emerick Aubameyang at Arsenal

With Pierre Emerick Aubameyang leaving Arsenal behind, it’s safe to say Arteta lacks a truly strong centre forward.

That’s not to say that letting him go was a mistake. After all, Gaboné’s striker set out in controversial circumstances, stripping off the captain (video below) and flew to Barcelona on a trip that was not approved by the club.

Despite his flaws, Aubameyang was a strong and great player for the club and was the key reason behind the only trophy of Arteta, the FA Cup, the 2019/20 FA Cup.

Given Arsenal’s recent advancements, it’s surprising that they are currently in the middle of five years of trophy cleaners, but it’s probably not a coincidence that they haven’t yet won any great honors since Over left.

His record with the Gunners was exceptional, scoring 92 goals on 163 outings, most notably winning the Premier League Golden Boots in 2018/19.

He was one of the most despicable forwards in all of British football during his time at Emirates Stadium and deserved to make his way to the 2019/20 PFA Team of the Year.

Aubameyang unrelentingly scored 31 goals in 51 games throughout 2018/19, and 29 in 44 games in the next semester.

Well, if Sesko arrives, he certainly has a lot to live on, but there are similarities in the way they play the game.

The Slovenian, known by Scout Jace Krig as “The New Haaland,” owns a tall frame standing at 6 feet five. In contrast, the former Arsenal forward is 6 feet 2.

There are slight differences there, but their height allows for a longer, stronger stride pattern. They can burst past the final line of defense and surge towards the goal in an equally explosive way.

Rather than relying on complicated build-up plays, they are very clever and instinctive finishing abilities for their movements. In essence, they are both powerful respectable poachers. Often, they are always in the right place at the right time.

Compare one of Aubameyang’s best seasons at Arsenal with Sesko’s latest campaign, and you can see the pair as well.

They took almost the same number of touches, completed almost the same rate of success rates of passes per 90 minutes, suggesting that their behavior in the buildup is very similar.

Similarly, they come out very closely for key passes and shot-making actions, highlighting how often something happens in the last third of the pitch.

At just 22 years old, Sesko clearly has a lot of development left, but if Arteta can extract it in north London, the Spaniards may have no excess baggage and have the next Aubameyang in his hand. Does that sound not too bad?
