Welcome to this special edition of Handbrake Off where the multi-generational crew have decided to reconvene to see if they can reach the kind of consensus Mikel Arteta and Andrea Berta need on the hot topic of a new striker for Arsenal.

Amy Lawrence is joined by our range of Arsenal fans from across the years. Arthur, The Athletic’s resident teen, Handbrake's Art de Roché, and Richard, our most mature (legendary) supporter.

So, the key dilemma that is keeping Arsenal fans from sleeping soundly is to Sesko or to Gyokeres, that is the question. The drip drip of whispers and hunches, breaking developments about concrete talk - god forbid any talk should be non-concrete - is already getting irritating.

The panel discuss the options, with the aim of agreeing on who they would choose if they were Arsenal’s new sporting director.

Adrian Clarke and Art de Roché join Ian Stone to discuss the potential arrival of Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad and what it could mean for Arsenal's midfield.

The Spanish midfielder is expected to be Mikel Arteta's first signing of the summer, with a £51m deal reportedly in it's final stages. The panel discuss his best qualities and why he’d be a great fit – including where he’d slot into the side and how he’d benefit those around him. We also hear from The Athletic's data writer Thom Harris and tactics writer Liam Tharme with their takes on what his arrival could mean for the club.

Plus, PSG's performance in the Champions League final and the guys pick their favourite Arsenal shirts of all time.
