Arsenal want to sign Viktor Gyökeres
Arsenal’s attention has been drawn to Viktor Gyokeres as Mikel Arteta’s team sets its sights on bolstering their striker options, inching closer to a crucial objective. According to Sport Witness citing A Bola, Arsenal is intensifying their scouting efforts on Gyokeres as the season progresses. However, the Gunners could find themselves in a fierce battle with other clubs vying for the services of the prolific forward, whom they have pinpointed as a primary target.
As the summer transfer window looms, several top-tier clubs, including Arsenal, are actively scouring the market for a new striker. With a pressing need to enhance their offensive capabilities, Arsenal’s pursuit of a striker capable of notching 20-30 goals in a season remains paramount.
While Ivan Toney of Brentford has long been touted as a potential target, the likelihood of securing his services has dwindled over time. Gyokeres emerges as another prominent name on Arsenal’s radar, especially given his impressive tally of 30 goals in his debut season with Sporting CP. Despite possessing a €100 million release clause, Gyokeres could be available for a transfer this summer.
Arsenal acknowledges the looming competition for Gyokeres, particularly from rivals like Chelsea, and is unlikely to meet the hefty release clause. Nevertheless, reports suggest that the Gunners are gearing up to intensify their pursuit of the Swedish forward, currently plying his trade with Sporting CP, with plans to escalate their scouting endeavors in the near future.
Jorginho may leave the Gunners
Joao Santos, Jorginho’s agent, has hinted at a contingency plan if his client opts against extending his contract with Arsenal this summer. Amidst Jorginho’s pivotal contributions in key Arsenal fixtures this season, Mikel Arteta’s strategic utilization of him has yielded significant dividends. Despite enhancing Arsenal’s on-field dynamics, concerns linger over his ability to sustain consecutive appearances.
Nevertheless, Arteta’s high regard for Jorginho prompts Arsenal to initiate contract talks with the esteemed player, who currently commands a weekly wage of £110,000. Even as his existing contract nears its conclusion, Arsenal retains the option to prolong it for another season. However, hints from Jorginho’s agent imply a potential pursuit of an entirely new contract.
