Viktor Gyokeres is attracting significant interest, with Arsenal expressing serious intent to secure his services.
Despite Arsenal’s previous focus on players like Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney, Gyokeres’ consistent goal-scoring performances for Sporting Club have captured their attention.
Sporting acknowledges the challenge of retaining Gyokeres, given his impressive form and growing interest from top clubs.
However, Arsenal faces competition for his signature, with Atletico Madrid also entering the fray, according to reports from Sport Witness.
Atletico, previously interested in Juventus’ Moise Kean, is now eyeing Gyokeres as a potential summer acquisition.
Nevertheless, the report suggests that Arsenal holds a favourable position in the race for Gyokeres, as the Swedish forward is keen on a return to English football following his previous spell at Coventry City.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Gyokeres has been one of the hottest strikers in European football and we expect him to keep scoring even if we add him to our group.
The striker has already proved his worth in England and may not need much time to start scoring regularly at the Emirates if we sign him.

If the Sporting CP’s Victor Gyokeres, does turn out at season’s end. To be the clinical finish regular goals scoring machine finih article striker. Who Arsenal will be looking out for to sign next summer. In particular Gyokeres as h could be. And if Arsenal want him and can afford his signing fee cost. They may sign him next summer.
But is Gyokeres ahead of Victor Osimhen in the pecking order in the top five league of the European clubs’ strikers?
Gyökeres is definitely the number choise. He doesn’t only score many goals, he’s a good passer. produce many assists – and he have the British experience. Last season in the Championship was impressive.
Osimhen, Vlahovic etc don’t even come close. Tony is closer, but not close enough. Get Gyökeres! Get the Swede!
JF, my question has been what were Arsenal scouts doing to allow Gyokeres to slip under the radar when he played at Coventry City. Arsenal will need to put a lot more money now he has performed in Spain
Good question, but they won’t have an answer to it because they have taken down, they are always looking out for the finished product.
I hope the rumours on Gyokeres pushes Jesus, Havertz and Nkeitah to give their all when called upon. I also hope our next CF will fit the bill and deliver. Having £45M + £265k p/w Jesus and £65M + £330k p/w Havertz on the bench next season shows poor scouting and negotiations. Their combined purchase price and wages could bring in Mbappe! I hope one or both gets sold.
My word
WHAT ABOUT OUR ACADEMY?
While there’s daily speculation about this or that player for Arsenal, I have a concern for our shining academy players. We read reports about their goalscoring exploits. Why not promote them? In defense and midfield we also have.
