The Swede has been in fantastic form this year and remains one of the most lethal strikers in Europe over the last few seasons, making him an attractive target for Arsenal.
While the Gunners are among the top scorers in the Premier League, fans still expect them to strengthen their options with a new striker. Gyökeres has emerged as an ideal target, and Sporting Club is now open to selling him after lowering their asking price.
Previously, the Portuguese club wanted his release clause to be paid in full, but they have since changed their stance and are willing to negotiate his exit.
This development should prompt Arsenal to intensify their interest, as they continue to scout him. However, the Gunners have not yet tabled a bid for Gyökeres. According to a report on Football365, this is because he is not currently a top priority.
The report states that signing Gyökeres is behind moves for Riccardo Calafiori and Mikel Merino in their pecking order. Arsenal has already signed Calafiori and will now focus on securing a deal for Merino before considering adding Gyökeres to their squad.
Just Arsenal Opinion
If we want Gyokeres, we have to act fast because there are other clubs that want to sign him.

Odd, as reports all suggest, until now, that Arsenal are serious about signing him – so serious that they are often quoted as the only club interested in signing him. That’s something that I’ve always found odd as well if he’s such a great prospect/talent, but there we are – this is football after all.
Not gonna happen
He would be great as a CF for Arsenal. He’s a goal machine for Sporting Club and he could possibly be as good with Arsenal. Especially if we could get him for a fee lower than his release clause
Goals in the Championship and one successful season in Portugal does not add up to £80m I’m afraid….Personally I still believe that Toney at around £50 offers us far better value and at the same time offers the team something that’s a little different from our other options than we currently have available.
Why delay? Sign him immediately!
What do you mean, focused? Not enough people to talk to agents with clubs every minute? You don’t have to be on the phone with them! Kronke doesn’t have enough money to spare? I don’t believe it! If they lose a player, they’ll have to bite the bullet!
Instead of going for Gyokeres whom I think is overpriced just a season doesn’t add up to £€86m, in my opinion I would rather go for a Julian alvarez
Agreed, I would go for Julian alvarez instead, cheaper and a much safer option, not convinced by Gyokeres, he could not cut it at Coventry, PL is the hardest league in the world, scoring tons of goals for SP, does not mean a whole lot tbh.
