Viktor Gyokeres has an incredible goal record and is a ready-made star, but Benjamin Sesko is proven in a major European league and has huge potential... so who should Arsenal sign this summer?
In an ideal world for Arsenal, Aston Villa would have beaten Man United on the final day of the season to edge Newcastle out of the picture in the race for the Champions League. There is no particular malice behind that thought, although a demoralising Carabao Cup semi-final defeat by the Magpies means Eddie Howe 's side aren't viewed particularly fondly by Gunners fans. But rather Toon striker Alexander Isak was viewed as a dream summer target for Mikel Arteta as he looks to reinforce his attacking options, yet given Champions League football will be returning to St James' Park, any move can now be ruled out. Nevertheless, it is still expected to be a big few months for Arsenal, boosted by a strong PSR position - and purse strings will be loosened as they try to strengthen across a variety of positions. There is no doubt that No 9 is the biggest priority though, with the lack of a quality option playing a big part in the third successive second place finish for Arteta's side as they drew 14 of their 38 Premier League games to finish 10 points adrift of Liverpool. Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres and RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko are the two main contenders, but Arsenal fans and those inside the club are torn on who would be the better option. Both Gyokeres and Sesko are top class strikers in their own right and each have plenty of positives - and impressive goal records - to boost their case to Arsenal's recruitment team. On the one hand, a move for Sesko would make sense given the Slovenian star has been a long-term target. The Gunners have previously done much of the groundwork on a potential deal, having been close to signing him last summer before the player became unsure over how much game time he would get. Sesko has since netted 26 goals for club and country this season and at 21, the striker, who turns 22 on Saturday, presents an ideal profile for future growth. A transfer to Arsenal also feels like the perfect next step for Sesko, who has carefully constructed his career to date. After moving to Red Bull Salzburg at 16, he initially impressed on loan at their sister club FC Liefering who play in the Austrian second tier. Two strong seasons saw him score 22 goals in 44 games when he then made the step up to Salzburg's first team to fill the void left by Erling Haaland's departure to Borussia Dortmund in 2020. Sesko thrived and in the summer of 2023 he had interest from several teams across Europe, before he ultimately chose to join RB Leipzig to stay within the Red Bull network. Sesko almost joined Arsenal last summer and the Gunners have done due diligence on him In Germany, Sesko has gained crucial experience in a major European league and performed well despite Leipzig enduring two difficult campaigns. In 2024-25 he netted 21 times in 45 games, even though Leipzig crashed out in the League Phase of the Champions League following seven defeats in eight games and finished seventh in the Bundesliga. Sesko's variety of goals are also an added positive for potential suitors, with the 21-year-old having netted just six times from the penalty spot this season. Sesko is strong with both feet and has scored multiple headers - and overall he has an impressive career record of 90 goals and 25 assists in 210 matches. His experience of the Champions League would also be useful to Arsenal, although he is yet to enjoy any real success in the competition. Across four seasons, Sesko has scored just six goals in 28 games. However, it must be noted that the 21-year-old has generally played for teams that have struggled in the Champions League and he did manage to net four times in eight matches this time around. But when Arsenal are weighing up whether or not to go for Sesko, who is valued at £92.5m, there are also several factors that may encourage them to go for Gyokeres. The Swedish forward has enjoyed an incredible two years at Sporting and he is widely expected to leave Portugal this summer. In fact, it is understood that Sporting are currently searching for a new striker to replace the former Brighton and Coventry frontman. The Portuguese side are demanding in excess of £70m, meaning the Swede's options are limited to a few clubs with the financial power and willingness to spend that on a player. But Arsenal are one such team, and new sporting director Andrea Berta is said to admire Gyokeres from his time working at Atletico Madrid. And you can see why, with Gyokeres possessing an superb record of 97 goals in 102 games since joining Sporting for a bargain £20.2m fee. A 2024-25 campaign that saw the Swede net 54 goals and add 13 assists in 52 games has meant Gyokeres' profile has risen exponentially, something that was particularly boosted by his Champions League form. On what was his first experience of the competition, Gyokeres scored six goals in eight games, included a superb hat-trick against Man City in November. His rise has been less serene than Sesko's, with the 26-year-old, whose birthday is next week, failing to make the grade at Brighton during a four-year spell that also saw him struggle on loan at Swansea. However, a flame was lit once he joined Coventry and 40 goals across two seasons as a permanent player earned Gyokeres a move to Sporting. Despite his incredible record, there are a few concerns surrounding Gyokeres, including the fact that he will be 27 at the start of next season, five years senior to Sesko. His struggles at Brighton, although they now seem irrelevant, do raise some questions given he has never played in a top five European league, something Sesko has done with the Bundesliga. Mail Sport has previously reported how this is a view echoed internally at Arsenal, with figures torn on whether the striker can hit the ground running in the Premier League. There is also the fact that 20 of his 54 goals this season were penalties, although given Gyokeres scored every spot kick, perhaps that is something to be viewed positively. He also struggled to assert himself during Sporting's 5-1 thrashing by Arsenal in the Champions League. Nevertheless, the Swede's international record is impressive, with Gyokeres having netted 15 times in 26 games in comparison to Sesko's 16 in 41 for Slovenia, although again the standard of their respective teams should be taken into account. Whatever they decide, it feels as if Arsenal will be getting a top quality striker this summer and one that they hope will take them to a trophy after more than five years. Both strikers have their qualities, with Gyokeres possessing an incredible goal record over the past two years. In fact, in 2024-25, the 26-year-old averaged a goal every 79 minutes and converted 56 per cent of his chances. This outperformed Sesko, whose goal-per-minute ratio is 156, while he has a conversation rate of 47.1 per cent. A caveat to that is the quality of their leagues and the fact Gyokeres had 3.9 shots per game compared to Sesko's 2.31. He also averaged 9.16 touches in the opposition box, almost three times that of the Slovenian's 3.29. Overall, it feels like although Sesko has a poorer goal record than his striking rival, the fact that he is proven in a major European league and on an upward curve is extremely appealing. Arsenal have also done plenty of due diligence on him as a target and they have been tracking the 21-year-old for a long-time. The Gunners have plenty of money to spend this summer and although Sesko is likely to be more expensive than Gyokeres, his physicality, age and potential mean Mail Sport favours him narrowly as the better option.

Fears murdered kingpin's alliance with Irish crime gang may lead to deadly revenge on Scots streets
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN ALLIANCE with the Irish Kinahan crime cartel struck up by murdered kingpin Ross Monaghan could lead to deadly revenge on the streets of Scotland, it is feared. Monaghan is said to have been instrumental in building an alliance between the Lyons family and the world's most wanted mob when he boldly approached godfather Daniel Kinahan several years ago. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Eddie Lyons Jnr (left) and Ross Monaghan (right) were shot to death in a bar in Spain Credit: The Scottish Sun 4 Steven Lyons could reach out to their allies in the feared Kinahan crime gang Credit: The Scottish Sun 4 Ross Monaghan is said to have been instrumental in building an alliance between the Lyons family and the Kinahan cartel Credit: The Scottish Sun 4 Daniel Kinahan He formed a relationship with the global mob boss that has prevailed ever since - giving the Lyons extra power and control over Scotland's illegal drug trade. The claims emerged after Monaghan, 43, and Eddie Lyons Jnr, 46, were slaughtered in a Spanish bloodbath amid the worst explosion of underworld violence in decades. And sources say bosses including Steven Lyons could reach out to the Kinahans for help as they plot revenge over a slaughter that's shocked even the most hardened mobsters. An insider said: 'Ross Monaghan was a powerful and influential figure within the Lyons gang and often made the big decisions. 'He was at least on a par with Steven Lyons who is seen as the gang's top dog. 'Monaghan was the one who made a bold move when he introduced himself to Daniel Kinahan a few years ago and offered to work with him. 'Kinahan obviously would have looked into his background and liked what he saw. 'So Monaghan can take credit for sealing the deal that gave the Lyons the backing of one of the biggest criminal networks on the planet. 'It could be that his links to the Kinahans gave him a false sense of security and now he's paid the ultimate price.' Fresh details about the Lyons' links to the Kinahan cartel emerged after Monaghan and Lyons Jnr were brutally taken out in a gangland ambush at their Spanish bolthole. Man walked through Carlow shopping centre firing into air before being confronted by cops as crowds ran from scene Last night it was claimed two hit men from Liverpool carried out the brutal slaying - sparking fury among high-ranking members of the Lyons crime clan. Steven Lyons is said to be furious over the shooting of his brother Eddie and close pal Monaghan and ready to use his Kinahan connections to hit back hard. An insider said: 'There is going to be revenge over this. 'Eddie Jnr was well liked and was keeping a low profile while he got over the death of a family member. 'Steven is mourning his brother but he's also furious that he was just wiped out in the way he was. 'He was close to Ross as well, it's a double blow that's going to change the dynamic of the power struggle to control the supply of drugs in Glasgow and Edinburgh. 'It would be no surprise if the Kinahans are brought in to help hit back at whoever was responsible for this. 'The word is that two Scousers were brought in to carry out the contract to put some distance between those who ordered the executions.' "Steven is mourning his brother but he's also furious that he was just wiped out in the way he was." Just two weeks ago, sources say, Lyons Jnr had been back in Glasgow having a drink with pals. He told them he was going back to Spain to sort some business out but would be back in Glasgow soon. He regularly made the three-hour flight back and forwards and was a regular in the bars in Fuengirola. He was also regularly spotted in up-market Marbella which is just a short drive along Spain's Costa Del Sol. Fugitive mob boss Daniel Kinahan, 47, his dad Christy, 67, and brother Christy Jnr, 43, are all wanted by American and Irish forces over their leading role in international crime rackets. A £4million bounty was put on their heads by the US in 2022. The Kinahans, from Dublin, have a string of links to Scots crime figures, including the Lyons mob. Steven, son of former gang chief Eddie Lyons Snr, has never been convicted of a serious crime despite his crew's bitter feud with the rival Daniel clan. He went to Spain in 2006 after being shot and seriously injured at his uncle's garage in Lambhill, Glasgow, in an attack that saw his cousin Michael, 21, killed. Dubai-based hood driving Scots gang warned to 'avoid Spain' EXCL BY CHRIS TAYLOR THE Dubai-based hood driving a gang war in Scotland was warned to keep out of Spain days before two Lyons gang mobsters were assassinated, sources claim. Ross 'Miami' McGill, 31, was said to have been issued the threat after rejecting truce talks with heavies acting for Glasgow's notorious Daniel clan. It's claimed a senior hood linked to caged Edinburgh mob boss Mark Richardson and Steven 'Bonzo' Daniel issued the 'keep out' warning after approaching McGill in a Dubai nightclub. The insider told how rivals had been keeping tabs on close associates of Ross Monaghan, 43, and Eddie Lyons Jnr, 46, before their execution in Fuengirola on Saturday. Read more on this story It's believed he splits his time between Spain and Dubai. The double murder comes amid a stunning escalation in violence after months of firebombings, shootings and assaults on associates of the notorious Daniel clan - sworn enemies of the Lyons for decades. The campaign of violence began in Edinburgh where associates connected to caged Edinburgh kingpin Mark Richardson, 38, came under attack by mobsters acting for Dubai-based hood Ross McGill, 31. Underworld sources say the feud was sparked when Richardson cronies ripped off McGill in a £500,000 cocaine deal using fake notes. But focus shifted to the age-old rivalry between Glasgow's warring gangs when Steven 'Bonzo' Daniel, 45, and other crime clan family members had their homes and businesses torched in a wave of violence. Until recently the attacks seemed to be coming from one direction with sources claiming Daniel heavies had tried and failed to convince McGill to enter truce talks. We also told of claims mobsters based in Spain were involved in helping organise attacks by recruiting footsoldiers and identifying targets in the ongoing turf war. Warning of a retaliation from Richardson and the Daniel chiefs had been brewing and sources say Monaghan - aware of the threat - had been in training as a cage fighter to keep himself in tip-top condition. In the months before he became the latest victim in Scotland's gang wars, he told pals he wanted to make certain he was ready for anything. Our source said: 'Ross liked to look after himself, he was a bit of a fitness freak. 'He's had a few bouts behind closed doors and was doing well. He was very handy with his fists and feet. 'But he knew he had to make sure he would be able to handle anything as he'd upset a lot of dangerous people. 'Everyone knew he was wary of anybody he didn't know - and he tried to make sure he had tight security. 'The Lyons mob have lost one of their top boys as well as a family member so they'll be out for revenge.' The Lyons and Daniel mobs have been locked in a violent power battle since a cocaine theft in 2001. Career criminal Monaghan, who fled Scotland for Spain after a failed attempt on his life outside a Glasgow primary school in 2017, was tried but acquitted over the murder of notorious Glasgow hood Kevin 'Gerbil' Carroll at an Asda car park in 2010. The shooting in Spain comes amid a violent gang war that has ripped through Scotland since March said to have started over a fallout over drugs.
