The Arsenal striker hunt will show us how quickly things change from one week to the next – from passionately needing a striker to not wanting one, to missing out on one (Benjamin Sesko), to abandoning the pursuit of a striker in favour of a midfielder, and then being heavily linked with a move for Viktor Gyokeres.
Gyokeres is a proven goal scorer, with 43 goals and 15 assists last season, making him Europe’s most productive player. Aside from his ability to score goals and provide assists, one may ask, “Why is Gyokeres the right man for Arsenal?”
The ex-Coventry striker possesses incredible speed, and once he joins Arsenal, he will undoubtedly electrify the team’s attack, adding another aspect to it. He is also incredibly vigilant and sharp, which makes him clinical in front of the goal. He is someone you can trust with the ball, which makes him a reliable target man because of his excellent hold-up play.
Certainly, if Arteta and Edu pull this off, it will be a huge signing for Arsenal. Some people think the striker we buy will serve as Havertz’s backup, but that’s not the case; the striker we acquire needs to be exceptional; he needs to be someone who can start games to put pressure on the Arsenal No. 29, and Gyokeres is unquestionably that.
But if the last few weeks have taught us anything at all, it is the fact that next week there may be another “main Arsenal target” for us to talk about, but until Arteta and edu give us any concrete news, all we are doing is whistling in the dark….
But one thing is sure of Arsenal fans – We all like to have our own opinion of who we want at the moment…

Let’s hope they do!
Agree that our Havertz does not = Erling Haaland, and never will be. But Viktor Gyokeres or Benjamin Šeško can!
I would be soooooo excited if we got Gyokeres and a quality CDM this summer
Such a true headline statement, it made me smile 🤭
As it’s also true that only MA and Edu know who they want to move on 🤭
I agree with Stephanie regarding Gyokeres, but would prefer a LB as back up /replacement if Timber doesn’t perform as we hope he does.
Of course, a CDM would also be a good signing for exactly the same reason regarding Partey as Timber.
Exciting times ahead I believe.
Arsenal may sign or not sign Victor Gyokeres this summer. For, it all depends on how the tripartite negotiations between Arsenal, Sporting CP and Gyokeres’s camp did turn out.
But prayerfully and hopefully, the negotiations to sign him by Arsenal this summer will turn out very successful for them.
After which they will start to address the signings of a new left-back, right-winger, defensive holding midfielder this window.
And all who should be versatile. But is Gyokeres versatile?
i like the project and i have watched goyeres moves is such awonderfull player with an eye for the goal..
weekend is over, back to school tomorrow
I think we need this guy in our team considering his quality. There’s no way we can win any major trouphy without a clinical striker. A quality DM is also needed. Then we can consider any other place on the pitch.
The progress Arsenal have made in the last two phases is nothing but short of eye catching to say the least, the transfer policy- overseen by Edu has paid handsome dividends.
Arm with a decent armchest, the capture of Viktor Gykoreres or a bold bid of another powerful midfielder would hardly surprise.
The gaffer just cannot afford a mistake as phase five begins to take shape
26 years old though…..
Since when did we always want Osimhen? I have never come across any concrete rumour linking us to him. All we have ever heard have been some of our own fans consistently fantasising about him. This Osimhen rumour seems to always be pushed by Arsenal fans that seem to really rate him as a player.
To me this rumour looks out of place for the type of player Arteta normally goes. He seems to prefer Versatile / techically sound players and less egotistical.
Well said Goonster
I can’t find what Goonster has said anyw in the replies!?!?
