Arsenal are moving swiftly in the summer transfer market and have reportedly reached an agreement on personal terms with Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres. The forward has emerged as a prime target as the Gunners look to bolster their attacking options and make a serious push for silverware next season.
The club’s new technical advisor, Andrea Berta, is overseeing Arsenal’s recruitment strategy and is believed to have played a key role in the pursuit of Gyökeres. After falling short in key competitions in recent seasons, Arsenal are determined to transform their squad into one capable of securing major honours.
Gyökeres Set for Lucrative Move to North London
According to a report from the Daily Mail, Arsenal have agreed to pay Gyökeres a gross weekly wage of approximately £240,000. This would amount to around £7 million in net annual earnings, representing a significant upgrade from his current contract with Sporting Clube de Portugal.
The 26-year-old has attracted attention from several top clubs across Europe following an outstanding season in Portugal. His goal-scoring exploits have made him one of the most sought-after forwards on the continent, and Arsenal now appear to be leading the race for his signature.
Gyökeres is expected to join fellow target Martin Zubimendi as part of an ambitious recruitment drive aimed at addressing the shortcomings that have seen Arsenal fall just short of major trophies under Mikel Arteta. With personal terms now reportedly agreed, the Gunners will look to finalise a deal with Sporting, who are expected to demand a substantial transfer fee.
Arsenal Eye Long-Term Success
The agreement with Gyökeres signals Arsenal’s intent to compete at the very highest level in the coming seasons. Adding a striker of his calibre could be a defining move in their attempt to close the gap on Liverpool and re-establish themselves as consistent title challengers.
Gyökeres has the physicality, technical skill, and finishing ability to thrive in the Premier League. If Arsenal can secure his transfer swiftly, it would represent a major statement and a step in the right direction for a club that is ready to turn potential into tangible success.

Just complete the deal and bring him on, it solves our primary striker problem for several years and gives us an opportunity to win those matches which we can’t now due to misfiring and hopefully will bring on a real trophy.
Good for arsenal I like the guy
Tibor_i agree with you, he will go a long way in this team, very special.
Hopefully the club can get a deal done soon and get him in with Zubimendi early so they can have a proper pre-season and fit into the squad, no messing around please Arsenal, get the deal done early.
We shall appreciate the work of the new sporting director for bringing the World class striker
Is a nice move for arsenal but the problem I have with arsenal fc management is after the will still show in seriousness.thr better be serious this time.they have to show us that they are serious this time around.
From all these coverages, I’m afraid it is more likely that Arsenal misses out on this guy..I’m afraid we’ll come to realize, when the transfer season officially opens, that another club (Liverpoool? Man U?) has closed the deal on him.
If Man UTD win Europa it will throw a spanner in the works…
Kia,
If your right and it throws a spanner in the works as you say. Well if that’s the case, then so be it. We can’t have that lot down the other end of seven-sisters winning it can we?.🙄🤦♂️
Ade king_man utd can sign him because Gyokeres said he going to the club that is playing champion league, but if at all arsenal may miss out on this player is going to be liverpool or any other club that play champion league.
To be candid, I hope he has what it takes to strive in premier league. I hope he doesn’t turn out to be Nunes of Liverpool. I would have prepared Cuna because of his EPL experience.
I hope we can move Jesus on to get Delap.
Delaps going Utd apparently .
Goal machine, what a name.
Not sure we had such a player call that name since the legendary Thierry Henry.
Big Sam once ranted, At Arsenal there is a player guarantee to score twenty goal every season before a single ball is kicked
People can talk about the quality of the Portuguese league, and they have a fair point.
However, scoring 52 goals is no mean feat, whatever the league. Sure the league is a lesser one, but it’s not just the goals he scores, it is his ability and consistency to finish that matters.
Anyone think Jesus or Havertz would come close to 52 goals in the Portuguese league? They are not reliable finishers; a key skill for a striker.
Gyokeres can help us win now, and can take our attack up a level, which we have needed for several years now.
He is a better finisher than even Halland just get the deal done early enough
It’s a very good news from the Gunner and if they can do it faster and make it a done deal then it going to be nice
Arsenal forever
At the end of the day I expect targets wrapped up quickly and ready to join the squad early. I don’t want to hear the usual nonsense that it’s a difficult window and we don’t get players until the season is about to start. This is the time for the Kroenkes to show they mean business on the field . No good expanding the Stadium unless we are winning things
