The Gunners, though, could have backed out of the race for the Sporting star, who will cost £60m, as they look to prioritise a deal for Benjamin Sesko, who will cost £67.5m. Arsenal are ready to book a medical for Martin Zubimendi after fully triggering the midfielder’s £51m release clause. Leroy Sane is also an option on a free transfer, though the Bayern forward’s agent has also offered him to Tottenham.
