We are about to enter the final sprint of the transfer window and as things stand, arsenal No action has been taken yet.

Mikel Arteta The edge is still there Premier League They have been brilliant in the title race but have been completely derailed by injuries to key players such as Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Ethan Nwaneri and now William Saliba. Making their lack of business so far particularly puzzling.

On top of that, former title rivals Manchester City are going all-out on signings this month and are expected to win the title Very exciting Omar Mamouchit’s easy to see why some Arsenal fans are starting to worry.

They may not need long, however, as recent reports have touted a move to the Emirates Stadium this month for a striker who could be their answer to Mamouche.

Indeed, the report has now revealed that the Gunners have “decided to step up” their pursuit of the Slovenian and are willing to offer close to €70m (£59m) to complete a deal this month.

The report claims that this development is attributed to Arteta’s push to the board, but as things stand, it is unclear whether such an offer would be enough to entice Leipzig to sell.

This month’s move could be an expensive and challenging one, but it’s worth it considering Cesco’s impressive performances over the past year or so and the potential many believe he possesses Struggling, especially since he could become Arsenal’s answer to Marmouche.

Why Sesco could become Arsenal’s Malmouche

Well, there are a few reasons why Cesco would be Arsenal’s answer to Manchester City’s signing of Marmouche this month.

First is the simple fact that, like the defending champions, this signing will see the north Londoners flex their muscles in the German transfer market and sign one of the Bundesliga’s most exciting players.

This similarity ties into the second: this transfer would see the Gunners sign an extremely dangerous striker who could have an immediate impact on the first team, similar to Manchester City’s target.

For example, last season, the “monster” born in Radche only played 42 times for Leipzig. Voiced by analyst Ben MartinsonScore 18 goals and 2 assistsand this year, he Scored 16 goals and assisted In 25 games, that equates to an average of one goal every 2.1 games last season and every 1.56 games this season.

As far as the Egyptian genius is concerned, he has found success 23 goals and assists He played 41 times for Frankfurt last year, an astonishing number of appearances 26 appearances this season, 34 appearancesresulting in an average of one goal involved every 1.78 and 0.76 games respectively.

Now, while the similarities between the two attackers and the likelihood of them moving to the Premier League are obvious, there are two key differences between them that could work in the Gunners’ favor, the first being their ages.

The Keiro-born superstar will turn 26 in a few weeks, while the former Red Bull Salzburg star won’t turn 22 until the end of the season.

While this may not seem like much on paper, it does suggest that the latter will be able to perform at the highest level for a longer period of time and have several years to reach its full potential.

For example, according to research Produced by The Athletic a few years agoWing players peak at 26, while centers often don’t reach their peak until 27, and when you consider how much the Leipzig star has improved season by season, who knows where he’ll be in five years or so.

Finally, Arteta has shown a penchant for signing taller players in recent years, with the 6-foot-5 Cesco undoubtedly a more formidable forward than the 6-foot Mamouch, and the mere thought of it is that Slovenia Power end Nicolas Joffer’s set pieces should strike fear into the rest of the league.

Ultimately, Arsenal are in desperate need of attacking reinforcements this month, and while the price tag will be steep, the board must make every effort to sign Cesco or risk being left behind by their rivals.
