Spattering striker Viktor Gyokeres is one of the most sought after attackers in world football, with the temptation of Champions League football that gives Arsenal a lead in the race
Viktor Gyokeres depicts a move to Arsenal if he gets the choice from his clubs this summer. Arsenal is one of a number of top clubs that focus on the sporty Lisbon Vooruit with Manchester United, including looking at the 27-year-old.
But Sporting believes that Gyokees prefers Arsenal and the Premier League above interest from Spain and Italy. Arsenal can also offer Champions League football, something that United cannot brag this summer for potential transfer goals.
Sporting is ready to sell the Swedish international who has achieved 95 goals in 100 performances for the Portuguese club that allows him to leave when a club arrives this summer with just over £ 60 million. Gyokees knows English football from his time in Brighton and Coventry, but he really made his name in Portugal, but is ready for a new challenge.
Gyokees himself has been tight. Asked for his future after the last match of Sporting of the season, he said: “Let's look. It's hard for me to say, because yes, it's football and you never know what will happen in the summer. So for me to say something different than that is impossible.”
Arsenal is looking for a new NO9 this summer, but it is not decided in their top goal, where sports director Andrea Berta has spoken with a number of agents, goals and clubs for what a huge window will be for the club.
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is an old admirer of Alexander Isak from Newcastle, but the Toon Army will not allow him to leave. Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig is also on their wish list with reports in Spain, which also suggests that Berta can go back to Atletico for former Manchester City Vooruit Julian Alvarez.
Arsenal also has to balance the expenses to ensure that they can achieve all their goals this summer, so that the costs will be included. They continue to rely on landing the real Zaragoza midfielder Martin Zubimendi who has a release clause of £ 51 million.
The Gunners also want a left wing player and have an extensive list of Leroy Sane whose contract in Bayern Munich has expired and Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao.
Berta has had extensive conversations with various clubs and agents and Rodrygo from Real Madrid is strongly connected, but his prize would have a strong influence on another company.
