According to a report by Football Insider, they are confident of securing an agreement for Viktor Gyokeres. Meanwhile, a report by Record via Sport Witness claims the the 27-year-old goal machine is growing anxious due to delays. He wants to join a big club, and a move to Arsenal would be a dream come true.
Gyökeres has established himself as one of the best forwards in European football, having scored 54 goals last season. He wants to compete at the highest level, and joining an elite Premier League club would be ideal.
Arsenal have come close to winning the league title in recent seasons but have fallen short. They need more quality in their squad if they want to overtake the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City. Signing a prolific striker could make a huge difference.
Gabriel Jesus has not been able to score consistently since joining the club, and Arsenal need an upgrade on the Brazilian international. Meanwhile, the Swedish international is at the peak of his powers and will look to hit the ground running in English football.
He has experience playing for multiple English clubs in the past, and it will be interesting to see if he can prove his quality in the Premier League. On paper, he looks like an outstanding option for Arsenal, and they will be keen to wrap up the move quickly.
They have already strengthened their squad with signings like Kepa Arrizabalaga and Martín Zubimendi this summer. Adding another striker would complete their rebuild.
It will be interesting to see if they can plug the gaps in their squad during the transfer window. Sporting CP, meanwhile, will look to recoup as much as possible for their prized asset.
Gyökeres will be aiming to push for major trophies with Arsenal next season if the transfer goes through. It remains to be seen whether all parties can iron out the details soon.
