Sporting Club striker Viktor Gyokeres has emerged as a tempting target for Arsenal at the end of this season. Despite initial concerns about costs, it appears that the Swede could be cheaper than initially feared. Gyokeres was unstoppable in front of goal and became the Gunners’ main option in their search for attacking reinforcement.
Arsenal’s interest in the striker was obvious, with Mikel Arteta’s side taking a close look at a number of players in the position. However, Gyokeres stood out from other targets at Sporting Club due to his impressive goalscoring abilities. His ability to find the back of the net has put him in Arsenal’s sights as a desirable option to strengthen their attacking line.
Arsenal already know Gyokeres’ asking price
As Gyokeres continues to score goals and gain recognition, Arsenal are faced with the decision of whether to secure his services. Although a final decision has not yet been made on which striker to sign, Gyokeres remains an attractive option for the Gunners due to his outstanding performances on the field.
What makes the situation even more interesting is the potential cost associated with signing Gyokeres. According to a report from Mirror Football, Arsenal could sign the Swedish striker for a transfer fee of £68.5 million. Although not insignificant, this amount could be considered reasonable for Arsenal, who recently set a transfer record by signing Declan Rice for a similar fee, to strengthen the squad.
As Arsenal look to revitalize their attack, Gyokeres represents an exciting and viable option. His goalscoring qualities and potentially relatively affordable price make him a key target for the Gunners as they plan their transfer strategy for next season.
