Arsenal are reportedly closing in on the signing of Viktor Gyokeres this summer, with the Swedish striker believed to have prioritised a move to the Emirates. Discussions have taken place between the Gunners and the player’s representatives, as Mikel Arteta’s side continues their efforts to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new campaign.
Earlier in the window, Arsenal had also expressed interest in Benjamin Sesko, engaging in talks with both his camp and that of Gyokeres. However, as pre-season approaches, the club are under pressure to finalise their striker plans and is now understood to have chosen to pursue Gyokeres more seriously. This decision appears to be based on the progression of negotiations and the growing complications involved in securing Sesko.
Sporting Club open to sale as Arsenal talks progress
Sporting Club are reportedly willing to sanction the sale of Gyokeres this summer and has held discussions with multiple interested clubs, including Arsenal. The striker is currently scheduled to report for pre-season training with Sporting next week, although it is believed that his preference would be to begin that preparation with Arsenal instead.
The Gunners are said to be making significant progress in talks and are looking to finalise the move in the coming days. With the season fast approaching, time is of the essence, and the club are keen to avoid any further delays in strengthening their squad in key areas.
Arsenal confident despite competition
As reported by Football Insider, Arsenal are now very confident that they will secure the signature of Gyokeres, despite interest from several other clubs. The club have been working on this potential deal for some time, and there is a growing sense that their persistence is about to pay off.
Having made the forward a priority target, Arsenal are expected to intensify their efforts to complete the transfer swiftly. The striker’s willingness to join the club could also play a role in accelerating the process, as they seek to conclude the matter well before the season begins.

These recycle striker gossip headlines are getting ridiculous. They are not saying anything new.
We might end up with a completely random striker that we did not see coming.
😊
Pls arsenalfc board, we need immediate netting,we d fans re curious n worried.my club arsenalfc my heart goes to viktor gyokores. All d way V.gyokores
If Berta don’t sign Sesko, Arsenal will live to regret it , just like they did with not signing Isak. What a penny pinchers club. Remember no player is a guaranteed success in the premier league. But, just imagine Manchester united getting Gyokores and Tottenham getting Sesko, while Arsenal buy another Chelsea player Noni Madueke. What a disaster fc.
Been told we are trying to get this deal done ASAP. It’s only the transfer fee that has to be agreed. Come on Big Berta, get it done.
Only lol
Only🤣🤣 thats going to be the sticking point.
Why is it difficult for arsenal to sanction the signing of a striker since, when the likes of chelshit have signed two strikers and looking to sign third strker, the issues of splashing cash on incoming players is still persistent it is not the problem of Berta or arteta it is purely the owner who is being over economical with cash despite make lots of money from Emirates. There is nothing wrong in signing two strikers we’ve them beforr and othe clubs are doing the same thing, how are going to get rid if this situation cos time is going to meet pre season training, weve to get our players on ground before departing to Asia, the best solution is kroenke family to quit the ownership of our club i dont see any good things coming from them excepy stinginess
In this case, it is not Arsenal but Sporting. They have a new president and a promise that wasn’t his. It can get resolved but Arsenal will have to pay more than they want and Sporting will have to accept less than they want.
Arsenal owner. Please get Gyokeres deal done now. Please
Nothing to do with the owner?
