Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, faltering once again. With Ruben Amorim regularly rotating his number nine, there is an indication that he is unhappy with either player and could enter the market next year for a centre-forward.

That said, Sporting Lisbon hitman Viktor Gyokeres has been linked with a move to Old Trafford to reunite with Amorim, although there have been other names linked to the club. According to Graeme Bailey (h/t TBR Football)the latest of these is RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, who has been strongly linked with a move towards Arsenal also.

Sesko almost moved to Emirates Stadium last summer but extended his association with the Bundesliga giants to continue his development on the condition that he would be allowed to leave in the summer of 2025 to approximately £60 million – a sum that most of his suitors could afford next year.

Arsenal likely to have advantage over Sesko
