🔥Arsenal scout two UEFA Champions League strikers-BREAKING NEWS🔥🔥MIKEL ARTETA has identified two best European strikers 😱that will help him win the league this season as he aims to challenge Pep Guardiola 🫣🫣
Reports suggest that Arsenal have sent scouts to monitor two strikers in this week’s UEFA Champions League matches, potentially eyeing future transfers.
Just a day after Arsenal’s 2-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain at the Emirates Stadium, the Gunners’ scouts were present at the Red Bull Arena to witness RB Leipzig’s 3-2 defeat against Juventus. According to *TBR Football*, Arsenal’s interest focused on RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko and Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic, two strikers previously linked with the club.
Both players impressed, each scoring twice in the thrilling five-goal match. Sesko’s second goal came from the penalty spot in the 65th minute, just minutes before Vlahovic equalized with his second strike.
Arsenal had pursued Sesko during the 2024 summer transfer window, willing to trigger his £55m (€65m) release clause to fend off interest from other clubs, including Manchester United. However, the 21-year-old Slovenian striker chose to stay at RB Leipzig. With six goals and three assists in eight appearances across all competitions this season, including three goals in two Champions League matches, Sesko has been delivering on the faith placed in him by his club.
Similarly, Arsenal were close to signing Vlahovic in January 2022, but the Serbian striker opted to join Juventus from Fiorentina for £66m (€78m) instead of moving to North London. Despite that, rumors have persisted that Arsenal could rekindle their interest, and reports suggest Mikel Arteta’s side may try to sign the Champions League star next summer.Arsenal’s scouting of RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko and Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic during the recent UEFA Champions League matches underscores their ongoing search for a striker. Both players impressed in the 3-2 match between RB Leipzig and Juventus, with each scoring two goals, making them prime targets for potential future transfers.
Arsenal has shown a long-standing interest in both players. They pursued Sesko in the 2024 summer transfer window, willing to meet his £55 million release clause, but the 21-year-old chose to stay with RB Leipzig. With six goals and three assists already this season, Sesko’s form has justified his decision. On the other hand, Arsenal had been close to signing Vlahovic in January 2022, before he chose Juventus. Given his performances and Arsenal’s continued need for a prolific striker, they might revisit their pursuit of Vlahovic next summer.
With Arsenal looking to bolster their attacking options, the performances of both Sesko and Vlahovic will likely keep them on the club’s radar as potential signings.
