๐จ BREAKING: Arsenal are prepared to end negotiations with RB Leipzig over striker Benjamin ล eลกko, with talks reportedly stalling in recent days. The Gunners have been keen on the 21-year-old Slovenian international, who impressed in the Bundesliga last season. However, Leipzigโs firm stance on his valuation and release clause has caused a slowdown in progress, leading Arsenal to reconsider their pursuit.
With the deal for ล eลกko looking increasingly unlikely, Arsenal have now turned their attention to alternative targets โ most notably Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyรถkeres. The Swedish forward, who scored over 40 goals in all competitions last season, has emerged as a top option. Talks with Gyรถkeresโ representatives are said to be at an advanced stage, indicating that Arsenal are actively exploring other routes to bolster their attacking options this summer.
Mikel Arteta is determined to add firepower to his squad ahead of the new season, and while ล eลกko was once considered the primary target, Arsenal are not willing to be held to ransom. The club is aiming for a swift resolution and may fully shift focus to Gyรถkeres if Leipzig do not soften their stance. More developments are expected in the coming days.
