The English press is whining that Arsenal will have to settle for second place in the Premier League for the third year in a row.
There is still a vanishing possibility of Manchester City winning their game away at Craven Cottage against Fulham by a lot of goals and Arsenal losing away at St. Mary’s Stadium to Southampton so that the Sky Blues take over second place.

Criticism has been heaped on captain Martin Ødegaard who was not as fantastic this season as last time, there are also questions about many Mikel Arteta who has received big money for player purchases in recent years without delivering Premier League gold.
But rather than go after someone new, Arsenal will continue to support Mikel Arteta’s project. A striker who can execute the plan of one of the world’s best playmakers, Martin Ødegaard.
Arsenal go all-in on Benjamin Šeško: €80 million on the table
Arsenal are now taking drastic steps in the transfer market with one clear target in mind: Benjamin Šeško. According to both English and German media, the London club have already come a long way in negotiations with RB Leipzig to secure the Slovenian striker jewel for a sum of around €80 million.
Arteta’s dream signing
Mikel Arteta has singled out the 21-year-old striker as the missing piece to complete the team’s attack, and Šeško has had a phenomenal debut season in the Bundesliga, scoring 21 goals and providing 6 assists in 45 appearances – figures that confirm his status as one of Europe’s most promising young talents.
Arsenal’s intense chase
The Gunners have been closely following Šeško for several weeks, with several scouts present during Leipzig’s recent 3-3 draw with Bayern Munich, where the Slovenian once again stood out with a goal. Arteta is confident that his striker profile will complement Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli perfectly, especially given the varying form of Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz.
Arsenal want to close the deal quickly before competitors like Chelsea and Liverpool come into the picture stronger. Leipzig are currently open to negotiations, but with a contract that lasts until 2029 and growing interest, the final transfer fee could approach €100 million.
