Arsenal set for £55m release clause deal to add to Martin Zubimendi and Benjamin Sesko transfers
Arsenal could begin their summer transfer window strongly following reports that moves for Martin Zubimendi and Benjamin Sesko will be made at the end of the season.
Sesko has long-term admirers at the Emirates and the club remain keen on striking a deal despite their initial rebuff. Last summer, Arsenal pushed hard to sign the RB Leipzig forward but he decided to commit his future to the Bundesliga side until 2029.
Zubimendi has also been high on the transfer wish list, with both Thomas Partey and Jorginho's deals expiring in the summer. football.london understands that work is in place to bring in the Spaniard once the season concludes despite him rejecting a move to Liverpool last year.

Another name on the list is Bournemouth's Dean Huijsen with reports suggesting that Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea will go head-to-head for the signing of the centre-back. However, he is not only attracting interest from the Premier League, as Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are all claimed to be keeping tabs on the 19-year-old.
TBR Football now state that the youngster has a release clause worth around £55million in his contract. Although his clause will become active in the summer, it's said there is confidence from the Cherries he will remain on the south coast.
Juventus meanwhile, will be entitled to a 10% sell-on clause if Huijsen leaves Bournemouth. Huijsen joind Bournemouth for £12.6million from the Italian giants last summer.
However, he didn't expect a sudden arrival in the English topflight. "It wasn’t my decision, but I have no regrets: every day I’m more satisfied with my adventure at Bournemouth," he said. "I don’t regret it, on the contrary… I’m happier and happier at Bournemouth."
