The past month or so has been far from ideal arsenal.

Mikel Arteta One side has lost points Premier League There will no longer be amulet Bukayo Saka at least a few months.

However, a positive development is the return to Gabriel JesusHe has scored five goals in his last three games and looks more dangerous than he did a month ago.

But unfortunately for the Brazilian, it may be too late, as recent reports have once again linked the club with one of Europe’s most exciting new forwards, who could become his long-term replacement.

Arsenal transfer news

according to Report from SpainArsenal have maintained an interest in RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Cesc, who now hopes to move to England in 2025.

Reports claim that the Slovenia international has attracted the attention of several potential suitors next year after impressing for Germany this season.

While the game is far from ideal for the Gunners, the good news is that they now know how much they will need to offer to secure the 21-year-old’s services, as reports claim Leipzig will only listen to offers in excess of €70 million, which is around €70 million £58m.

Arsenal would still need significant investment to pull off this move, but given Cesco’s ability and potential, it’s worth pursuing, even if it could be bad news for Jesus.

How Shesko Compares to Jesus

So, as things stand, Jesus appears to have regained his place as Arsenal’s starting nine, and given the five goals he has scored in his last three games, he could be in that position Keep it for a while.

However, if the club spend less than £60m on Cesc next month or in the summer, they will surely do so simply to give him as much playing time as possible and put him in direct competition with other teams. Brazilian.

Having said that, in a direct comparison, which one comes out on top?

Well, in terms of their pure output since the start of last season, it was a pretty easy win for the Radche-born “Monster” as he’s been dubbed Analyst Ben Martinson.

For example, he discovered the back of the net Appeared 29 times and contributed 5 assists 65 games played, which equates to one goal every 1.91 games.

In contrast, the former Manchester City star has already scored 14 goals and 10 assists Over the same period of 59 games, there was an average of one goal every 2.45 games, which is quite disappointing.

Interestingly, when we dig into the underlying numbers from the start of last season, it’s even closer, although Leipzig still lead in the most relevant metrics.

For example, while he ranks second in non-penalty expected goals plus assists, shots and goal-creating actions, he ranks second in actual non-penalty goals plus assists, shots on target, goals per shot and shots on goal It is far ahead in terms of hit rate and other indicators. Win the aerial duel, both with 90 points.

Additionally, the São Paulo-born ace has scored a string of goals in the last month, which has boosted his overall per-90 numbers, which could be misleading without additional context.

Ultimately, while Jesus is still a good footballer and could be a valuable asset to Arsenal, it seems unlikely that he will develop into a goalscoring phenomenon in the coming years, which may be the case with Sesco.

So while it will cost the club a lot of money, the Gunners should do everything they can to sign the Slovenian goalscoring machine as soon as possible.
