ADVANTAGE ARSENAL? VIKTOR GYOKERES' TRANSFER STANCE LEAKED AHEAD OF POSSIBLE €90M SPORTING CP DEPARTURE
Arsenal may have taken a step closer in the race to sign Viktor Gyökeres, as the Swedish striker’s stance on a summer move has been revealed — with the Premier League firmly in his sights.
🔍 Gyökeres Open to Arsenal Switch
Sources close to the player suggest Gyökeres is keen on a move to England’s top flight, and views Arsenal as a "perfect next step" in his career. The Sporting CP star is aware of interest from several clubs but is reportedly intrigued by Mikel Arteta’s project at the Emirates, especially with the Gunners pushing for silverware domestically and in Europe.
💰 Sporting CP's Stance
Sporting remain firm on their €90 million release clause — a figure they inserted after signing Gyökeres from Coventry City. While they won’t stand in his way if that figure is met, they are under no pressure to sell, with the striker under contract until 2028.
🔥 Gyökeres' Blistering Form
36 goals + 14 assists across all competitions this season
Leading Sporting’s title charge in Portugal
Attracted interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, and a number of Saudi Pro League clubs
🆚 Competition for His Signature
While Arsenal are seen as front-runners, Chelsea and PSG are also monitoring the situation. However, the player is said to prioritize Champions League football and a system that suits his direct, physical style — both factors that work in Arsenal’s favour.
✍️ What Needs to Happen
Arsenal may need to offload fringe players to fund a big-money move
