July 27, Arsenal officially announced the victory of Zhekelais this summer, with twists and turns behind the scenes. Since last summer window, the Gunners' forward line signing list has been changed several times: in the Edu era, Leipzig 22-year-old high center Sesco was regarded as the "No. 1 answer", and Zhekelais was only the "B plan" to assist Havertz. In March, interim sports director Aito even booked a flight ticket to Germany and restarted negotiations with the Sesco team. But at the end of the same month, Berta took office, and the script changed dramatically - the trip to Germany was cancelled, and Zhekelais was quickly pushed to the central government of Taiwan. Berta has long followed the 27-year-old Swedish shooter, believing that his immediate combat power and champion hunger are the keys to Arsenal's five-year unwinding. In the following two months, the club conducted parallel evaluations of the two strikers with the support of the boss: Sesco was young and had a lot of appreciation, but the total price of Leipzig, player salary and broker commissions far exceeded the psychological price; the negotiations were in a deadlock due to personnel changes and radical agent strategies. On the contrary, Zhekelais, who had been trained in Brighton and Coventry, is familiar with the Premier League rhythm, has stable goal data, and controllable transfer fees. After the negotiation window restarted in June, the balance completely turned toward Zhekelais. Although the Sesco team gave in at the last stage, they had missed the opportunity. In the end, the Gunners locked in the plug-and-play Nordic shooter with a pragmatic attitude, making up for the final puzzle for the championship in the new season.
