Arsenal cannot afford to miss a beat in the upcoming transfer window, not if they want to end a 22-year wait for a Premier League title.

The last time the Gunners finished as runners-up three years in a row, they won the league the following season, but their 2025/26 fortunes could hinge on what they do in the market.

While there’s no quick fix to end a title drought, many believe adding goals in the attacking department, specifically in the form of a centre-forward, could be the final piece of the jigsaw for Mikel Arteta.



The Magpies weren't alone in their admiration of Isak, with Liverpool and Arsenal among the teams to have been linked at the time, but the two Premier League giants were unwilling to make a move.

Newcastle have certainly reaped the rewards ever since, and such has been the Swede’s prolific goal-scoring form, Arsenal at one point appeared to rekindle their interest.

But Isak, who was once a £63m gamble, has since turned into a £150m superstar.

It’s a fee that Arsenal are unlikely to justify splurging on one player, but what if they could bag two for just under the £150m amount?

Sesko has been quoted as the more expensive of the two, with RB Leipzig believed to want around £84m for the Slovenian’s signature, while Gyokeres could command £67m, as per The Guardian.

It would, of course, represent a hefty investment as far as Arsenal are concerned, however, it would show they’ve learned their lesson in not hanging about when a top talent - or in this case, talents - presents itself.

It would also mean Arsenal fans go from saying they ‘need to sign a striker’, to ‘which striker do we play today’.
