Arsenal are keeping a close eye on Sporting star Viktor Gyokeres

According football.london, Arsenal They closely follow the performances of Sporting Lisbon forward, Viktor Gyokeres, and are interested in signing him this summer.

The Swede has been in exceptional form for Sporting since his arrival from Coventry City in the Championship. He has scored 36 goals and registered another 14 assists in 39 appearances. His actions have intensified speculation about his future and football.london They claim Arsenal are monitoring his progress ahead of a summer raid.

The Gunners are weighing different transfer options to reinforce the center forward department for next season. Gyokeres is one of the main candidates on his radar, since he meets many of the characteristics that the club is analyzing.

football.london They also report that the club has cooled its interest in signing Ivan Toney from Brentford. The Gunners are eyeing a younger striker and are not planning an approach to the England ace at the end of the campaign.

Higher class

Gyokeres has made a big impression since moving to Sporting from the English second division. He has not made any mistakes with the Portuguese team and has also scored goals with his national team. Therefore, it would not be a surprise if he moved to the first division with Arsenal or any other club.

Arsenal currently lack the presence of a quality goalscorer up front. Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah have not lived up to expectations and the manager Mikel Arteta has chosen to play Kai Havertz as a result, in the role of the false 9. He would like to have a true goalscorer to lead the attack next season.

Gyokeres would be a quality player if he did. He has proven his credentials in the Portuguese top flight. The challenge will be much tougher in the Premier League, but he could represent an improvement on the Gunners' current forward duo. However, he won't come cheap with a buyout clause of £86 million in your contract. Arsenal appear willing to pay the fee.
