Arsenal consider Benjamin Sesko transfer U-turn as Marc Guehi call made

Arsenal are set for a busy summer in the transfer market as they look to sign a new striker, winger and midfielder to aid their latest Premier League title challenge Arsenal are yet to sign any new players, but Mikel Arteta is keen to strengthen his squad in a number of positions. The Gunners boss has told fans to expect a "big summer" in the transfer market. A new striker is top of Arsenal's shopping list and they have been heavily linked with several potential options, including Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres. A deal for Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi has also been lined up. ‌ Arsenal have finished second in the Premier League for the last three seasons and Arteta will be hoping that his side can finally get over the line next year and lift the title for the first time since 2004. ‌ Here, Mirror Football takes a look at all the latest transfer news and rumours from in and around the Emirates... READ MORE: Sesko frustrations Arsenal are reportedly growing frustrated with Benjamin Sesko's wage demands as they look to wrap up a deal for a new striker this summer. Arsenal are ready to pay £70million for the RB Leipzig star but talks with Sesko's camp over his wages are not going smoothly. The report states that the 22-year-old's representatives want a deal 'much higher' than Arsenal are willing to pay. As a result, the Gunners could perform a U-turn and move for Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres instead. Gyokeres is keen on a move to the Premier League and Arsenal are keeping their options open. Guehi makes decision Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi is ready to snub Arsenal in favour of a move to Liverpool, according to a report from the Sun. ‌ Both clubs are interested in the England defender, but Guehi wants to be guaranteed first-team football and that is more likely to come from Liverpool. William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes have formed an impressive centre-back pairing for Arsenal in recent season. Liverpool, meanwhile, are selling Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen and there are doubts over the future of Ibrahima Konate as his contract is due to expire next summer. ‌ Zubimendi delay Martin Zubimendi's move to Arsenal is expected to be formally confirmed in July, even though the midfielder has already travelled to the UK to finalise the deal. Zubimendi was in London on Friday to put the finishing touches on the move, but Real Sociedad do not want the move to be ratified until July for financial reasons as the current football financial year is due to end on June 30. Zubimendi has a £51m release clause, but the Gunners are set to pay a fee that could reach £55m after negotiating more favourable payment terms with Sociedad.

Al Ain's keeper was unmoved and fans on social media were quick to hail an outstanding strike. 'What a player we've signed,' exclaimed one excited City supporter. Another called it an 'insane free-kick', while a third fan declared: 'Claudio Echeverri has arrived'. Meanwhile, multiple fans on X (formerly Twitter) compared Echeverri's maiden City goal to an iconic free-kick scored by France legend Zinedine Zidane against England at Euro 2024. 27' GOLAZOOOOO @ManCity Watch the @FIFACWC | June 14 - July 13 | Every Game | Free | | #FIFACWC #TakeItToTheWorld #MCIAIN — DAZN Football (@DAZNFootball) June 23, 2025

'If this was on purpose, it's Puskas': Ilkay Gundogan scores 'really beautiful' fluke for Man City at the Club World Cup

Ilkay Gundogan impressed Manchester City fans with a 'really beautiful' fluke against Al Ain on Sunday night. The 34-year-old opened the scoring against the side from Abu Dhabi after just eight minutes when he lobbed the goalkeeper using his weaker left foot. A deflected corner kick from the right found Gundogan around 15 yards from goal and he danced around a defender's challenge before dinking the ball towards Erling Haaland at the far post. What appeared to be an attempted cross beat the keeper all ends up before Haaland watched it into the net, rather than trying to steal the goal for himself. Reacting to the goal on social media, one fan wrote: 'If this was on purpose, it's Puskas for Gundogan omg'. Another tweeted: 'Man, Gundogan's guilty goal was really beautiful.' But not all fans were impressed. One reacted: 'Commentator praising the quality of Gundogan who has skill with his left foot lol. For God's sake, an unintentional goal is not a great goal, he missed the cross and the ball went into the drawer.'
