Arsenal has been dealt a blow in their bid to sign Viktor Gyokeres, as he looks set to remain at Sporting Club.
The Gunners are one of several clubs tracking the Swedish goal machine, who has only spent a season at the club.
Gyokeres is on track to score over 40 goals by the end of this season and has been tipped to move to a bigger club in the summer.
Arsenal is competing with some of the top clubs on the continent to sign him as soon as possible, and they won’t be pleased with the latest update on his future.
Gyokeres, along with other top-performing stars at Sporting, could easily be allowed to leave if the club loses its highly-rated manager, Ruben Amorim.
Amorim has been linked with the Liverpool and Barcelona jobs and recently held talks with West Ham.
However, it appears he is set to stay, which will be a blow to clubs interested in their players, including Gyokeres.
A report on Sport Witness reveals that if Amorim remains at Sporting, the club will not sell its key players, and Gyokeres is among those who could potentially stay.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Amorim has played an important role in the success of Gyokeres, and he might also have no problems staying in Portugal if his manager remains at the club.

Hopefully we could still acquire Gyokeres, he is the best option and most well rounded in my opinion.
Zirkzee is overrated and conversion rate is terrible, Sesko not at the level, Osihmen is too expensive and not value for that cost.
Gimenez is an excellent finisher and worth a reasonable fee. Isak can score, but has shown to be quite injury prone, which is concerning for the fee being asked.
Juve need to sell, get Vlah and with the better service he gets in the Arsenal team this may be another option. Only problem is will the fan base and the powers to be accept him because of his stunt in driving up the transfer fee when he was available but wanted to always go to Juve rather then us.
No blow. Gyokeres will leave. Sporting needs money to pay Amorin.
Gyokeres is the target . Failing, we can get Lois Openda not Zirkzee who is only average and no upgrade to any of our present strikers.
Sesko is way better than Zirkzee and is only 20.
He may be good but i don’t like him. O would prefer Osimhen(Fighter) to him all day.
If we can’t get Gyokeres, then we go for Gimenez. Gimenez has shown what he is capable of doing by scoring over 21 goals in the Dutch league only.
He is also affordable compared Osimhen
The coach can’t decide for the club, it’s the club that manages its finances that will take the decision whether to sell or not, moreover Gyokeres has a release clause in his contract, so the most important thing is the players decision. I think Gyokeres is the best of all the options available.
To me is not only the striker the team needs to add players to each position each position needs atlase two players that compete for and quality players, take a look at man city each position had two quality players and its why man city look always good.we must sell all unused players at the club to get enough money
