Viktor Gyoker continues to be linked to his move to Arsenal during the summer transfer period, and it will be interesting to see if they can get a deal across the line.
The players are also linked to Italian club Juventus, but the Serie A Giants are unable to compete with Arsenal in the race financially.
Alfredo Pedula revealed on his Italian football podcast: “Arsenal’s first choice is Gyoker. Andrea Berta, Arsenal’s new sports director, knows he has Gyoker in his head more than Cesco.
Confusion over asking price
The Swedish international striker was initially valued at 100 million euros, and there were rumors that he could sign less. Apparently, the player’s agents are on the clash course with the Portuguese club regarding player evaluations.
Gyokeres agents feel that the club has committed to selling him at a more reasonable price, but the sports CP president is currently denying such a guarantee. It is still unknown how the situation will develop.
Arsenal requires viktor gyoker
Arsenal wants to sign him for a reasonable amount. It’s pointless to spend 100 million euros on a 27-year-old striker. Benjamin Sesco will be a cheaper alternative.
Arsenal desperately needs a reliable finisher. The 27-year-old scored 54 goals last season, and while he’s definitely a world-class player, they wouldn’t want to overpay for him.
It will be interesting to see if the player and his agents can convince the Sports CP to accept a reasonable offer in the coming weeks. Arsenal hopes to win the league title next season and must sign the highest quality players. Swedish international could change them.
