Despite being willing to meet RB Leipzig's valuation of £70m for Sesko, Arsenal's management team is unhappy with his contract demands. These demands are significantly higher than what the club is prepared to pay, leaving the deal in a state of uncertainty.
As an alternative, Arsenal has been considering Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres. Meanwhile, the club continues to maintain contact with Sesko's representatives in an effort to find a mutually acceptable solution.
