Why Benjamin Sesko Is Perfect For Arsenal (And Why He's Not)

The summer transfer window rolls on as Premier League clubs and those around Europe look to add to their squads.

Arsenal are hoping to secure a deal for Valencia defender Cristhian Mosquera after the La Liga outfit rebuffed their initial offer. They also have sights on Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze and face competition from Tottenham. The Gunners continue to be linked with Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres, and it appears the latter is now pushing for a move to London. In the meantime, a medical is planned for incoming Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard.

Manchester United secured Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m early in this window and hope to bring in more reinforcements. They are negotiating with Brentford about Bryan Mbeumo and have Sporting’s Gyokeres and Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins on their list of potential additions while Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho face exits from the club.

Elsewhere, Chelsea are set to sign Jamie Gittens after Borussia Dortmund accepted an offer of £55m for the former England Under-21s winger, who will have a medical, while the Blues have confirmed to signing of Brighton’s Brazil forward Joao Pedro. Newcastle are also making moves and have stepped up their pursuit of Nottingham Forest’s Anthony Elanga by submitting a second offer close to £55m.

Brentford hold firm on Bryan Mbeumo price

Brentford, meanwhile, are not budging on their expectations of an improved fee for Bryan Mbeumo. The London club have knocked back two bids from Manchester United for the forward and the London Standard believe they are holding out for a figure of £63m or more.

The logic behind Man United’s recruitment that could solve their goalscoring crisis

Manchester United were not merely outscored by 15 other clubs in the Premier League last season. They were outscored – as a team, and amassing the combined efforts of the 31 players who took the field in the division for them, plus the two opponents who donated own goals – by a trio who could have formed their new front three, with the club looking to add Bryan Mbeumo to the signing of Matheus Cunha having earlier failed to get Liam Delap.

Five players tell Man United they want to leave Old Trafford as exodus looms

Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Jadon Sancho are among five players to tell Manchester United they want to leave the club after falling out of favour.

Antony, the second biggest signing in United’s history, and Tyrell Malacia are also keen to move elsewhere amid a possible exodus from Old Trafford and none of the quintet will start preseason training with United.

Rashford, whose No 10 shirt has been given to summer signing Matheus Cunha, is a target for Barcelona and has said he would “love” to play with Lamine Yamal.
