Arsenal fans are gearing up for a big summer transfer window.

The Gunners’ dreams of winning the Premier League title this season are all but over. They are currently 12 points behind Liverpool, and that just feels like an impossible gap to overcome.

The focus now will be to end the season strong and go as far as they can in the Champions League, but come the summer, big signings need to be made.

A new striker is the priority, and as Alexander Isak is looking more and more unlikely, other options need to be considered.

Arsenal target Benjamin Sesko’s transfer value is now the same as that of Bukayo Saka

Benjamin Sesko is very high on Arsenal’s wish list.

Isak is still Mikel Arteta’s dream target this summer, but the ‘unstoppable‘ RB Leipzig star is next on the list and is far more attainable.

Sesko has a release clause in his contract worth around €70 million (£58.3m), but that figure could go up to €90 million (£75m) depending on performance factors.

That should be considered a bargain because Sesko’s actual transfer value is higher.

According to CIES Football Observatory’s Estimated Transfer Values tool, Sesko is currently worth a fee between €98 million (£81.6m) and €124 million (£103.2m).

Arsenal superstar Bukayo Saka’s transfer value falls in the exact same region too, according to the outlet.

For those wondering, Newcastle United’s Isak, who is regarded as the best striker in the world at the moment, is said to be worth between €82 million (£68.2m) and €104 million (£86.6m)

Bukayo Saka’s transfer value has dropped

Saka is one of the best players in the world – there’s no debate there.

The Englishman has been unbelievable for Arsenal and England over the last few years, and he has proven time and again that he is a matchwinner.

That is why Saka was valued by CIES at €157.3 million (£131m) back in January this year, but the Arsenal number seven’s value has dropped due to two reasons.

The first is that he has been injured throughout that period and hasn’t played a single minute. Secondly, Saka’s contract is nearing its final two years.

Once he is back and his deal is renewed, we expect Saka’s value to go straight back up.
