Arsenal are keen to sign a new striker this summer. They have many names on their radar and have now received a major boost in pursuit. One of their targets is now being made available for £59 million in the summer window.
Mikel Arteta has identified striker as the missing piece of puzzle. He is demanding a world-class striker and is going to be backed by the club. Gunners had Isak as the top priority but he can cost as high as £150 million. Hence, they have now dropped interest in Isak.
Gunners also have Benjamin Sesko as other target. The Slovenian can cost lot less than Isak but is still young and lacks proper experience. Hence, the North London club are now moving towards one of their early targets who is also from Sweden and in superb form.
Arsenal have held talks with the agents of Viktor Gyokeres. The club is now said to speed-up their process as Andrea Berta has finally taken over. Amidst this, the North London giants have recieved major boost in pursuit of Gyokeres.
Arsenal can sign Gyokeres on discount this summer
According to The Athletic, Viktor Gyokeres can be signed on discount this summer. Sporting CP are said to agree on a deal of around £59 million. The Swedish striker has £85 million relese clause and hence the dip in his transfer fee will come as a major boost for Gunners.
Gyokeres can be the missing piece to lead Arsenal to Premier League title. He has been superb since joining Sporting. Last season he scored 43 goals and picked 14 assists in 50 games. This season he has once again scored 43 goals and picked 10 assists in 43 games. Lastly, he already has experience of playing on English soil and is regular starter for Sweden national team too.
