Tonight, Arsenal's “blockbuster” Viktor Gyokeres will have the opportunity to confront striker Benjamin Sesko – MU rookie who used to be “turned” by the Gunners.
Last May, the representative of Benjamin Sesko suddenly appeared in the stands of the Emirates Stadium to attend the match between the Arsenal host and rival Newcastle in the round of 37 Premier League 2024/25. Rumor, “super trigger” Elvis Basanovic came to London to negotiate with the Gunners about the ability to transfer the Slovenian striker. It can be affirmed that Sesko then moved very close to the dream of becoming a member of Arsenal.
But right after hearing rumors about the possibility of Sesko joining the Emirates, Arsenal fans were “rebellious” to protest. They think that recruiting this 22 -year -old striker is too risky. Those who love the London capital team expressed their desire to see Viktor Gyokeres the Gunners' attack in the 2025/26 season. So the transfer of Sesko to Arsenal immediately “sinking”. The Emirates team resumed the negotiation to buy Gyokeres to please the fans.
After many tense talks with Sporting Lisbon, plus the “breaking” from those who want to interrupt, including MU, Arsenal once intended to abandon the goal of Gyokeres. But in the end, they still successfully “finalized” this deal, after convincing the top team of Portugal to accept the transfer fee of 63 million pounds. And as the “top scorer” of the Portuguese league last season – scoring 39 goals – becoming a member of the Gunners in Sesko's soose.
After being “put on the market” by Arsenal, for some reason, Benjamin Sesko fell horribly “hot”. There is almost no “big man” in Europe to pay real attention to England. Finally, the Slovenia player has only 2 options to make a decision about the future: or join Newcastle, or join MU. Of course, Leipzig's striker leaned to the traditional rich team of Manchester. So in early August, he signed a 5 -year contract with the Red Devils, after MU agreed to pay Leipzig the transfer fee of 74 million euros.
With Sesko, Arsenal now in his eyes is the “enemy” engraved mind. Therefore, the fact that the Slovenian striker has the opportunity to encounter the Gunners right in the first round in the English Premier League 2025/26 is an interesting event. Certainly the 22 -year -old striker will play with more than 100% of his ability, to directly prove to the people that he broke Viktor Gyokeres about the ability to play and score, and made Arsenal “white eyes” because “the crime” suddenly “turned” to him.
There was no doubt, the embankment between the star Benjamin Sesko of the home team and striker Viktor Gyokeres on the Arsenal visitors was the focus of the first Super Sunday match in the English Premier League season 2025/26. They are all expensive rookies. They all bring great expectations to the team they have just joined. If Sesko was the hope for MU to end the “blunt” scene as in the previous season, thereby rediscovering the position of a “giant” in the foggy country, Gyokeres was hailed as an ideal “number 9” for the Gunners to fulfill the dream of conquering the Premier League.
Viktor Gyokeres has gone through a few “rehearsal” with the new Arsenal team. Basically, his integration is positively evaluated by experts. But whether the Swedish player is really a “blockbuster” of the Gunners this season or not, it needs to wait for Benjamin Sesko to verify. Assuming MU's rookie is more sublime than Gyokeres and tearing the net of the London capital team to help the Reds win the first 3 points in the English Premier League season 2025/26, then do not know how the Arsenal fans will react?
