Chelsea are behind in the race for world-class striker ahead of summer window. They are keen to sign him but the player prefers a move to Arsenal.
Chelsea are set for another big summer transfer window. Enzo Maresca will be backed to bring in some of his preferred players. The Italian wants another striker and will be backed by the board. As of now, they are linked with many big names across whole Europe.
On the other hand, Arsenal have striker signing as a top priority this summer. Mikel Arteta has identified the number nine position as the missing piece of puzzle. Gunners will sign a clinical striker and are ready to splash big money on him.
The star in question here is Viktor Gyokeres. He is 26 years old Swedish striker who plays for Sporting. Since the last season, Gyokeres has been one of the best strikers in the world. He is very likely to move away from Sporting this summer with Premier League likely to be his next destination.
Gyokeres prefers move to Arsenal above Chelsea
Chelsea and Arsenal are both keen to sign Gyokeres this summer. According to A Bola, the striker prefers a move to Arsenal ahead of Chelsea this summer. This will come as a massive blow for the Blues who will need to look for someone else.
