Arsenal is increasing its efforts to sign Sporting CP Striker Viktor Gyokeres. This is reportedly open to travel to Emirates Stadium this summer, according to football insiders.
Despite the £85 million release clause, the sport is said to be willing to negotiate deals in the £60 million region, making transfers for gunners more affordable.
In an exceptional form, the Gyokeres have scored 52 goals in 50 appearances this season, cementing their reputation as one of Europe’s most prolific forwards.
His impressive goalscoring record has attracted interest from several top clubs, but Arsenal appears to be leading the race for his signature.
Viktor Gyoker is happy to join Arsenal
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is keen to strengthen his offensive options, making Gyoker’s versatility and clinical finish make him an ideal candidate.
However, negotiations can face challenges as Sports CP reportedly prefers the majority of transfer fees paid within two years. This is a condition that can complicate the transaction.
According to the report, the striker is “happy” to sign Gunner this summer, as he prepares for a new chapter in his career.
With the need to crave the attackers this summer, gunners are looking for several options in the market, and Gyoker is their main goal.
Talks have already begun between the two political parties.
Journalist Pete O’Rourke has provided the latest updates on gunners chasing Swedish international attackers.
“In Gyoker’s case, there is a discussion between Arsenal and his representative.” He told the soccer insider.
“(gyokeres) has emerged as Arsenal’s number one option, and all parties seem willing to close the transaction.
“Players are happy to come and Sports CP is happy to sell just £60 million.”
Signing one of Europe’s best strikers at the moment is a statement from the gunner.
After failing to win a Premier League title in the last three seasons, they are not ready to show their ambitions this summer.
