    I recall similar articles about Folarin Balogun two seasons ago

    He will have to have more than what he’s doing now, for me to put him on the level of Serge Gnabry in terms of players I regret us selling.

    https://www.arsenalstation.com/2025/...ktor-gyokeres/ I hope this is just a rumor he's what 26-7 his previous club was Coventry City and he wasn't tearing up the league (championship I believe) £63m would be a complete waste of money.

    You have to be joking, right?

    Well here's hoping it's just his agent trying to get him a move to Manure for more commission.

    Yeah quite, he's supposed to be good and as Isak will be silly money and Sesko's apparently not an out-and-out forward, maybe it makes sense

    I would take Gyokores over Sesko and Isak in a heartbeat.

    He is a proper no. 9

    Despite the fact that Gnarby has made a great career for himself and probably tops the list of young players we let go prematurely, I've actually never really been bowled away by his performances... don't get me wrong he is quality, but losing him or playing against him hasn't really given me sleepless nights like an Anelka..... probably more miffed about us losing him for peanuts.

    BTW surprised no one has brought up us being linked with Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike.

    I've seen a few glimpses of the kid and for now he looks like something that could be really really special.

    He's tall, pretty decent dribbler, has a crazy way he accelerates with the ball (not Martinelli aimless running) and seems to have that positive unpredictability that could really be a difference.

    Love the glimpses of the kid I've seen so far, and though he's far from the finished article, if I had to compare him with anyone it would be Isak, and TBH the few glimpses of the kid I've seen is making me want him more than an unattainable Isak.

    Right now he tops my list of strikers purely based on his potential (which is me doing a drastic uturn)...but I'd definitely take him over Sesko, all the attainable guys in the EPL , just a bit over Osimhen, and now its a straight duel between him and Gyokeres (head says a dependable Gyokeres but my heart says this kid is going to be crazy at a top club that counter attacks swiftly, really crazy). Probably fits Liverpool more than us but I sincerely hope that never happens.

    I was going to say, we unfortunately don't counterattack quickly, if we did Pepe might actually have been a good player for us

    We'd have to move Arteta on to get the best out of him - I'll leave it there

    Possibly and looking at his goals per game ratio they weren't that bad I just can't help feeling if he tried hard enough under Arteta he might have nailed the inverted left back position
