Could Benjamin Šeško to Arsenal be the blockbuster move of the summer? That’s what Mark Goldbridge is leaning toward in his latest fiery episode. The 21-year-old RB Leipzig striker has now emerged as Mikel Arteta’s top choice, with Arsenal pushing to activate his €80 million release clause. While the Gunners had previously flirted with Viktor Gyökeres, it’s clear Šeško is now the main man—and Arteta’s fingerprints are all over this pursuit.

Šeško to Arsenal: Arteta’s Dream Striker?

According to Goldbridge, Benjamin Šeško is more than just a target—he’s the striker Arteta wants to build around. Arsenal reportedly tried to sign Šeško back in January, and now they’re circling again, determined to beat the clock before his €80 million clause opens the floodgates.

Why Šeško over Gyökeres? Arteta sees Šeško as a project player with superstar upside—similar to how Pep Guardiola molded Erling Haaland into a Premier League monster. At just 21, Šeško brings a rare combination of height, strength, and movement that fits Arsenal’s evolving system.

This move would finally address Arsenal’s glaring striker gap. While Gabriel Jesus and Nketiah have moments, neither profiles as a 25-goal striker. Šeško could be that clinical, athletic No. 9 who completes the puzzle. Backing Arteta here isn’t just logical—it’s necessary.

Gary Neville BANNED by Nottingham Forest? WWE-Level Drama

Yes, you read that right. Nottingham Forest have banned Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville from the City Ground for their season finale against Chelsea. Why? Because Neville won’t stop criticizing the club—especially the owner.

Goldbridge unpacks the chaos, comparing it to a WWE feud: Vince McMahon vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin. Neville previously slammed Forest for whining about referees and even called for manager Nuno Espírito Santo to resign. The owner has now taken it personally, yanking Neville’s access just days before he was supposed to co-commentate.

This is pure football theatre. The banning of a commentator—on personal grounds—might be unprecedented in the Premier League era. It raises questions about media freedom and club-owner egos running wild.

England Squad Controversy: Goldbridge RAGES at Southgate

Goldbridge didn’t hold back on Gareth Southgate’s latest England squad either. He calls it “a crime against football,” especially the inclusion of Jordan Henderson over young FA Cup winner Adam Wharton. He brands Henderson a “cheerleader” who’s simply not at the level anymore.

Other eyebrow-raising decisions include:

• Ivan Toney’s call-up despite playing in Saudi Arabia
• Harry Maguire’s omission despite recent good form
• No spot for in-form winger Jarrod Bowen

Goldbridge also suggests Southgate may have a bias toward Chelsea players—something fans have joked about before but now seems plausible.

Southgate’s loyalty to certain names is costing England momentum and public trust. Wharton was the obvious call-up after a stellar season. Opting for Henderson might alienate a younger, data-driven fan base that expects logic, not legacy, in squad selections.

Liverpool Moving Early: Wirtz & Frimpong in Sight

Liverpool have wasted no time this summer, and Goldbridge is impressed. With Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong both heavily linked—and Bayern and City stepping aside—Liverpool could lock down two top-tier signings early.

Goldbridge praises their approach: fast, quiet, and effective. He compares it to the Sir Alex Ferguson era—bolstering the squad before weaknesses are exposed.

Liverpool’s aggressive moves signal a new era under Arne Slot. Landing Wirtz alone would make a statement. Doing it alongside Frimpong? That’s vintage top-six domination—securing weapons before the competition even wakes up.

Final Day Madness & Transfer Window Vibes

With the Premier League finale approaching, expect chaos to spill over into the transfer market. Goldbridge highlights these key matches:

• Forest vs. Chelsea — personal, emotional, and possibly explosive
• Villa vs. Man United — huge implications for Europe

Once the dust settles, expect Chelsea, Newcastle, Villa, and others to go all-in on transfer business. Goldbridge likens it to a buffet: “Liverpool have gone up first, and now everyone’s racing to the table.”

The transfer window is no longer just a scramble—it’s a strategy. The smartest clubs strike early, and this summer is shaping up to be ruthless and rapid. Arsenal, Liverpool, and United all seem ready to throw punches fast.
