If there’s one player who knows how to upset Arsenal, it’s former Tottenham captain Harry Kane.

No player has scored more goals in North London Derbies than Kane, who taunted Arsenal from the moment of his breakthrough in 2014. 

Despite the England international leaving Spurs in 2023, Kane continued to haunt the Gunners, finding the net against Mikel Arteta’s side in the Champions League quarter-final. 

The striker might be out of view when it comes to the Premier League, but the reality is, the 31-year-old’s threat to Arsenal must never be overlooked.

Harry Kane could disrupt Arsenal’s transfer for Benjamin Sesko

There were rumours that Kane could sign for Arsenal in the build-up to the 2025 summer transfer window, but such talk was rubbished, as expected. 

That didn’t, however, stop the England striker from being a topic of conversation with regard to Arsenal’s transfer plans. 

Kane was desperate to see Leroy Sane stay at Bayern Munich while the winger was being linked with a move to the Emirates, but he then signed for Galatasaray.

There is now a new development that the Spurs icon is entangled in, as Arsenal’s plot to sign Benjamin Sesko could be disrupted. 

GOAL relayed a report from Germany that mentioned Bayern Munich’s plan to intercept a deal for Sesko, a blueprint that Kane is surprisingly at the heart of.

It’s believed that Bayern see Sesko as an alternative to Kane as a striker, as the Bavarian club are discussing the idea of deploying the Englishman as a number ten.

Kane, who turns 32 this summer, could be seen as an attacking midfielder with Sesko considered the youthful spark required in the centre-forward role. 

Such could massively derail Andrea Berta’s plan to sign the Slovenian, whose future at RB Leipzig remains uncertain. 

Kane’s scoring record against Arsenal 

Not landing Sesko because of Kane would be a real blow for Arsenal.

The Gunners have been punished by the striker as many as 15 times in his career, with the striker being on the scoresheet against Arsenal 15 times in 21 games. 

There’s comfort in that Kane has only won 38% of the games he’s played against Arsenal, but the forward is certainly a figure that very few at the Emirates want to see too often.

After causing the Gunners so much agony during his career at Spurs and then Bayern, the prospect of Kane playing a part in Arsenal failing to land Sesko would be the final nail in the coffin.
