Arsenal is among several elite clubs pursuing a deal for Viktor Gyökeres, and the Gunners have now reportedly been given preference to sign the prolific striker. The Swedish international has been in exceptional form this season, delivering a series of outstanding performances for Sporting CP, where he has consistently found the back of the net.
Gyökeres has rapidly become one of the most sought-after players in European football, with his exploits in Portugal attracting attention from numerous top sides. His ability to score regularly, combined with his physicality and work rate, make him an ideal fit for a team looking to enhance its attacking options. Arsenal have closely monitored his progress throughout the season and are believed to be preparing a move as they aim to strengthen their squad ahead of the next campaign.
Arsenal in Pole Position for Gyökeres
The Gunners are in need of a proven goalscorer to complement their attacking system, and Gyökeres is considered one of the most suitable options available on the market. His profile matches Mikel Arteta’s preferred style of play, and it appears the admiration is mutual. According to Football Insider, Gyökeres has now given priority to Arsenal, making them the frontrunners in the race for his signature.
The report also claims that Sporting CP are open to conducting business with the Gunners, which further strengthens Arsenal’s position. While other clubs, including Manchester United, remain interested, Arsenal’s project and progress under Arteta appear to have made a strong impression on the forward.
Arsenal Must Act Decisively
With such a high-profile talent giving clear indications of his preference, Arsenal must act quickly and decisively to finalise the deal. The club has a rare opportunity to secure one of the most prolific strikers in world football, and with other clubs circling, hesitation could prove costly.
If the Gunners are serious about resolving their attacking shortcomings, this is the moment to push forward. Gyökeres could be the key addition that takes the team to the next level.

Done deal from what I’ve heard .
It was Benjamin Sesko and Gyokeres who were most likely to join and if that is true then good for arsenal for kicking early this time round.
Real Madrid already signed 3 players. Just show real intent and sign him he will help us being champions,
Most players would love to join Madrid so that’s not a shock, Arsenal completed the signing of Zubimendi long ago accordingly to some relevant sources so if it’s true then Arsenal were even faster this time round.
His numbers are phenomenal both scoring & assists. Got to say though Vlahovic at Juve is being priced alot cheaper & he’s doing the biz in serie A. Think 55 goals in 145 or so games. £25m I think they’d take. 2 incoming? Let’s see.
I gather the deal is almost done and Gyokeres will be next into the team after Zubimendi.
Firstly, Gyorkeres is not coming in first extra bit of transfer window. Impossible. He has a cup final. Followed by International commitments, and then takes a holiday.
I’m not sure Gyorkeres is coming. It’s becoming set up as a classical hi-jack, with Chelsea, or more likely Liverpool who are also already in contract talks with Gyokeres, coming in with better contract, wages for player and cash for selling club. Arsenal won’t pay more than other top earners, Rice and Ode about 240 a week, Arsenal won’t break 300 a week wage cap – both Chelsea and Liverpool happily will to land Gyorkeres.
So we have to hope it’s the player choosing us, Arteta’s system and project, not agents turning head talking money.
But Gyorkeres knows full well by now that Arteta wants Sesko instead. In the back of Gyorkeres mind is a manager that doesn’t want him here, will use him in different ways than he is used to (that is certain to happen coming out counter attack side in a farmers league). There’s plenty of hard work ahead for Gyorkeres, to adapt to the Arteta system, that will surely be on his mind when Liverpool, Chelsea and Man Utd offer him better wages. But there Zero adaption work for Gyorkeres at Man Utd, reuniting with manager who made him superstar, he slots straight in, that’s bound to be a consideration for him as this absolutely will drag on into the second part of summer.
It’s not within Arsenals power to just go out and get whoever they want, do whatever they want in transfer market.
We can see Gyorkeres at Liverpool or Man Utd, and Sesko at Chelsea, this is what happens in windows. Is this not what Arteta was trying to warn fans last Friday – it might not go as expected? You don’t always get plan A. You don’t always get what you want, but you can get what you need. Sometimes.
Okay, please tell your client we fancy having him in our squad and that includes the manager, I reckon.
Be with or without Gyokores, nico williams, sesko, zubimendi and so on, will not kill Arsenal.. its only matter of times that Arsenal player will become champion when they really understand what the coach & the format/system the coach want them to play. Anyone in the team can be striker, midfield, defender and so on, if they understood what the coach see on them and play like what the coach want them to play.. all of the striker in the world will become nothing if they not suittable to the system of play used by the coach.. look at M.C, M.U, Newcastle, chelsea.. their striker almost become nothing when they didn’t play by the coach instructions.. LFC also don’t have striker, but they win the championship.. they win the cup without striker, and M. C lose badly this session because their so call striker is in ‘holiday mood’..
I thought KH was the best paid player, unless there are caveats in some players’ contracts
This move will only falls through if Isak is available for £100 mill, but we should all know in a few days time as I was made to understand it.
I think so too but I can’t see the deal materialize now, considering they’ll most probably make UCL and of course Newcastle will overprice him as a result. I do prefer him to other names of though, but Gyockeres is not far behind.
Hope we wrap it up already. Trying to lure Rodrygo will prove to be most difficult and probably drag through the window. Zubimendi and Gyockeres looks easier considering the release clause in place and of course our attractive pull.
