Breaking: Edu Secures £30M Wonderkid for Arsenal!
Edu has finalized a £30 million deal for Brazilian forward Igor Jesus, securing the promising striker for Arsenal before his departure. The deal was confirmed on January 24, 2025, by Nathinab07@gmail.com.
Arsenal Targets Exciting Brazilian Striker Amidst Sesko Talks
Arsenal is prioritizing the acquisition of a new striker this month, with 21-year-old Benjamin Sesko being a key target, though a summer move remains more likely.
While Sesko has been on Arsenal’s radar since last summer, when he nearly moved to the Emirates, the Gunners are now weighing other mid-season options to cover for the injured Gabriel Jesus. Despite interest from Chelsea and Manchester United, Sesko’s move to Arsenal could still happen this month, but a bid of at least £50 million would be required for RB Leipzig to sell him now.
If Sesko remains unavailable, Arsenal could negotiate a pre-agreed deal for the summer, like they are trying with Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi.
Arsenal Eyes Two Strikers: One Now, One in Summer
Arsenal is open to signing two strikers—one in the current window and another in the summer. A deal for Alexander Isak, Arsenal’s dream target, may become feasible if Newcastle misses out on Champions League qualification. But if Isak stays at Newcastle, the Gunners will explore other options.
Arsenal in Talks with Igor Jesus
In the meantime, Arsenal is in talks to sign Botafogo striker Igor Jesus, a 23-year-old forward who has been impressing in Brazil. Arsenal has held preliminary discussions with his representatives, and Jesus could be available for around €30 million (£25.4 million / $31.2 million). Jesus is expected to adapt quickly to the Premier League and could provide much-needed depth.
Other Options: Cunha and Ferguson Still on Arsenal’s Radar
Matheus Cunha, despite Wolves’ reluctance to sell, remains on Arsenal’s list, though the £80 million asking price makes a January deal unlikely. Meanwhile, Brighton’s Evan Ferguson is also being considered, though Arsenal’s loan quota restrictions complicate the situation.
Ferguson would need to be signed outright, and even at a reduced price, Brighton would demand a substantial fee. West Ham is also interested in Ferguson, and other clubs like Bournemouth are keeping tabs due to their own striker injuries.
Arsenal has a big decision to make regarding these targets, as they look to strengthen their squad for the rest of the season and beyond.
