Arsenal chasing “monster” £58m Jesus upgrade who wants to move to England

The final month or so has been removed from very best for Arsenal.

Mikel Arteta’s aspect have dropped factors within the Premier League and are actually set to be with out the talismanic Bukayo Saka for a minimum of a few months.

Nonetheless, the one constructive improvement has been the return to type of Gabriel Jesus, who’s bagged 5 targets in his final three video games and appears way more harmful than he did only a month in the past.

Sadly for the Brazilian, although, it could be too little too late, as current studies have as soon as once more linked the membership to one in all Europe’s most fun up-and-coming strikers, who may very well be his long-term alternative.

Arsenal switch information

Based on studies from Spain, Arsenal have maintained their curiosity in RB Leipzig ahead Benjamin Šeško and he now needs to seal a transfer to England in 2025.

The report claims that following his spectacular type for the German aspect this season, the Slovenian worldwide has caught the attention of a number of potential suitors heading into subsequent 12 months.

Whereas this competitors is much from very best for the Gunners, the great factor is that they now know the way a lot they’re going to want to supply to safe the 21-year-old’s companies, because the report claims Leipzig will solely take heed to gives in extra of €70m, which is about £58m.

It might nonetheless require a big funding from Arsenal to get this switch over the road, however given Šeško’s potential and potential, it’s value pursuing, even when it may very well be dangerous information for Jesus.

How Šeško compares to Jesus

So, as issues stand, it will seem that Jesus has reclaimed the beginning quantity 9 position at Arsenal, and given his 5 targets within the final three video games, it is a position he may very well be set to maintain for a short time longer.

Nonetheless, if the membership have been to exit and spend shy of £60m on Šeško both subsequent month or in the summertime, they’d absolutely solely achieve this with the intention of giving him as many minutes as potential, placing him in direct competitors with the Brazilian.

With that stated, which one in all them comes out on prime in a direct comparability?

Properly, in the case of their pure output because the begin of final season, it is fairly a snug victory for the Radeče-born “monster”, as dubbed by analyst Ben Mattinson.

For instance, he has discovered the again of the web 29 occasions and offered 5 assists in 65 appearances, which equates to a purpose involvement each 1.91 video games.

In distinction, the previous Manchester Metropolis star has scored 14 targets and offered ten assists in 59 video games throughout the identical interval, equating to a fairly disappointing common of a purpose involvement each 2.45 video games.

Curiously, issues are a bit nearer after we have a look beneath the hood at their underlying numbers because the begin of final season, though the Leipzig gem nonetheless comes out simply forward in essentially the most related metrics.

For instance, whereas he is second finest for non-penalty anticipated targets plus assists, pictures and goal-creating actions, he’s comfortably forward in metrics like precise non-penalty targets plus assists, pictures on the right track, targets per shot and shot on the right track and aerial duels gained, all per 90.

Furthermore, the truth that the Sao Paulo-born ace scored a flurry of targets within the final month has improved his total per 90 numbers, which may very well be deceptive with out that added context.

In the end, whereas Jesus remains to be a superb footballer and a participant who may very well be a beneficial asset for Arsenal, it appears unlikely that he’ll develop right into a goalscoring phenomenon within the coming years, which may very well be the case for Šeško.

Subsequently, whereas it can value the membership a big amount of cash, the Gunners ought to do what they’ll to signal the Slovenian purpose machine as quickly as potential.
