According to Football Insider, Arsenal is aiming to bolster the pursuit of sports CP striker Viktor Gyoker and secure a signature before the summer transfer window.
The 26-year-old Swedish International is prolific, scoring 47 goals in 46 appearances this season and offering 11 assists.
His exceptional performance has attracted interest from several top clubs, but Arsenal is reportedly leading the race for his signature.
Arsenal’s new sports director, Andrea Berta, is a admirer of Gjoker and is leading the club’s efforts to bring him to Emirates Stadium.
The gunners are trying to bolster their front, especially after being injured by key players like Kai Herberts and Gabriel Jesus, which influenced their title challenge.
In addition to Arsenal, Manchester United have expressed interest in Gyökeres and are keen to see manager Ruben Amorim reunite with the former players.
However, Arsenal’s aggressive approach and Champions League qualification may give them an edge in ensuring the service of the strikers.

Gyokeres reportedly supports the move to Arsenal, attracted by the club’s recent success and the opportunity to play under Mikel Arteta.
Given the quality of the attackers and the form he has shown this season, the world’s biggest club is about to finalise his deal this summer.
The good news for the gunners is that the players themselves want to move to Emirates Stadium.
The Arteta team has been linked to the moves of RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesco and experienced striker Victor Osimchen in the past, but now Gyoker has moved ahead of both and has become the club’s main transfer target this summer.
The gunners have kept their options open for now and contacted Reel striker Jonathan David to discuss the summer moves.
