GUNNER WAIT AND SEE

Berta plays it cool over Sesko & Gyokeres deals

- by JOHN CROSS

ARSENAL are staging their own 'beauty pageant' as they actively pursue deals for both Viktor Gyokeres AND Benjamin Sesko.

While they do not plan to sign two strikers, Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta (inset) is keeping his options open and has held advanced discussions over both players.

They are also not ruling out a move on other targets, with Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins still on their radar after a January switch fell down.

They Gunners have previously been linked with Alexander Isak and Julian Alvarez, but Gyokeres and Sesko are the two most likely targets.

StarSport revealed on June 6 that Gyokeres prefers a move to Arsenal ahead of any other club, despite interest from Manchester United as well as teams in Spain and Italy.
