I think this pretty much where I'm at too.

I started off liking Sesko a year ago when we were linked to him, but watching him a bit more and probably ( and more importantly) not rating the metrics by which Arteta judges forwards makes me want him less and less every day.

If my head rules my heart, Gyokeres probably tops my list for dependable strikers.......but I strongly think we need to bring in not one but 2 proper forwards this summer, so going for a cheaper Gyokeres makes sense if I'm hoping for a 2nd signing.

HCZ mentions Jonathan David, which is ok with me as an additional member of the squad as he'll be on a free.

But if my heart had its way, I'd go for Ekitike and Gyokeres this summer, we'd have flair and a possible superstar in one hand and a dependable Giroud like goal machine in the other hand.

My heart isn't silly so it doesn't consider Isak as an option available to us.
