• Sesko and Gyokeres seen as the most realistic strikers after the club explored deals for Isak and Alvarez
• As of today it is still 50/50 on whether it would be Sesko or Gyokeres that signs
• Sesko is the preferred signing internally and would have more universal backing within the club but which striker signed will ultimately depend on the final numbers
• Rodrygo interest is real. However, says he hasn’t wrote about it due to how tough any potential deal would be
• They will try to do a deal for Rodrygo after the striker signing if they can
• Gordon interest is real but doesn’t see why Newcastle would sell. It would not go down well with their fans
• All of the big 6 clubs have enquired about Kudus this summer
• Kudus has a £85m release clause but West Ham are understood to be willing to negotiate a deal for lower than that
• Arsenal have a long term interest in Kudus and one to watch if Gordon or Rodrygo do not materialise
• Club have looked into Hato and Guehi
• Arsenal facing the issue of convincing a CB to join the club (like Guehi) because they know that Gabriel and Saliba are guaranteed to start
• Said on the Zubimendi story that he knew he would have been in the mud if his story was wrong
• Admitted he started having doubts himself over the Zubimendi story and kept checking in with his sources to confirm they were still true
• Speaks in general on transfer journalism and says no one 100% knows whether they story they’re reporting is true
• That it’s all a trust game and you just have to believe what you’re told is true from your sources
