Martin Keown claims Arsenal have secretly sealed the signing of a new striker

Arsenal are set for a crucial summer transfer window, with their primary objective being the signing of a top-class striker to bolster Mikel Arteta’s squad.

Despite being among the favourites for the Premier League title, the Gunners find themselves 12 points behind league leaders Liverpool.

A series of injuries to key attackers—including Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, and Kai Havertz—have significantly hampered Arsenal’s performances this season.

Sesko, on the other hand has been strongly linked with a move to the North London club…
