There is concern that Benjamin Sesko might make Arsenal regret going down the cheaper route in the same way Alexander Isak did when he ‘exploded’. And their record sale remains laughable.

Sporting chance
Tom, Leyton seems to have a serious issue with Sporting trying to extract maximum value from their asset and that no player should go there because they can’t be trusted.
I reckon players may look at it from a different perspective. Sporting took this lad who was on a journeyman path in the lower leagues, bizarrely if wikipedia is correct scored 68 goals in the first 9 years of his career and then scored 68 in 66 games with Sporting, turning him into a top quality striker. Won a couple of titles and a Portuguese cup, got to live in Lisbon (its a bit nicer than Coventry if you haven’t been) and he gets his big move to the top end of the PL at the end of it. Sounds pretty alright!
Will he be good for Arsenal, who knows, he could be a bit like Nunez, he could be better, could be worse. Not important from the perspective of players looking at his path, it leads towards the top and big bucks.
Maybe Arsenal should try to learn from Sporting, their biggest ever player sale was £32m for The Ox to Liverpool, that is kinda amazing….
