Arsenal:
Martin Zubimendi, who has a £52million release clause, looks certain to arrive from Real Sociedad as Arsenal prepare for the expected midfield departures of Jorginho and Thomas Partey, who are both out of contract in the summer.
They will explore a move for a versatile attacker, too, with Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams and Wolves attacker Matheus Cunha among the players admired.
Wolves forward Matheus Cunha’s new release clause is worth £62million, Mail Sport can reveal.
But the big money will be spent on a new centre-forward. It is no secret the dream ticket is Newcastle striker Alexander Isak.
Given the cost, believed to be in-excess of £120million, a successful swoop for the Sweden striker appears implausible.
But, at the very least, Arsenal will explore its validity. Sesko appears to be Arsenal’s best chance of landing the centre forward supporters so keenly crave.
It is understood the forward has a new release clause in his contract that becomes active this summer. His previous buy-out price was around £55m.
