The Gunners have been looking to add a new striker to their squad for some time and seem focused on making that addition this summer.
As their long-drawn pursuit of Riccardo Calafiori concludes, Arsenal will now turn their attention towards other targets, with Gyökeres emerging as a key option.
Gyökeres had an impressive season at Sporting Club last year, consistently finding the back of the net in his first season in Portugal. His performances have led to speculation about a potential transfer.
Sporting is open to his departure, particularly if their asking price is met. According to Fabrizio Romano in the Daily Briefing, Arsenal is preparing to test the waters with a bid in the range of £55 million to £60 million.
They believe a fee in that region will be sufficient to convince Sporting to part with Gyökeres and are eager to push the deal through.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Gyokeres has been one of the best strikers in Europe for some time and will be a fine addition to our squad.
We have so many options including Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen, but if the board thinks Gyokeres is the best, then we will support them.

They won’t, unfortunately…
How do you know?
Sporting know like every other club they can push Arsenal for top dollar. Sure 70(e) is enticing for them but why have cotton, when you can have silk?
Gyokeres should push for the move he won’t get a better offer than leading the line for Arsenal who aren’t that far off from being a CL favorite only two clubs ahead of them And solving this striker hole would be a huge jigsaw piece along with a left winger of note and CM and an understudy on the right Our defense looks as good as anything you’ll see so now close the gap further forward and within our squad Arsenal we are close to completion
What Sporting want, and I’m pretty sure will try and create, if possible, is an auction between several clubs that will force up the fee. After all, if he is really such a great prospect as the reports about him often suggest then there should be no shortage of suitors for his signature.
If Arsenal wants him, and they certainly need a top striker, I think they should make a really good offer “up front”. Trying something lower which results in rounds of negotiations will only give other interested clubs an opportunity to step in.
Victor osimhen would have a preferred striker for me
He has power, speed,he can head,shoot, dribble,tap in and can defend too
