Benjamin Sesko. Ivan Toney. Viktor Gyokeres. Victor Osimhen. Aleksander Isak. Those are just a few of the numerous strikers that Arsenal have been linked with since last summer.
Sesko in particular seemed the closest, with reports suggesting personal terms were agreed in principle before the summer, only for the Slovenian forward to fluff his lines at the European Championship.
Toney, too, was heavily linked with a move in absentia as he spent months on the sidelines after a ban for breaching betting rules, but it would appear his destiny lies elsewhere after missing out from Brentford's squad at the weekend.
