Viktor Gyokeres is closer to Arsenal than ever

VIỆT HÙNG |

After many internal scandals with Sporting Lisbon, it now seems that Viktor Gyokeres has found a way out for himself after a summer of many fluctuations.

Viktor Gyokeres emerged as the most sought-after target in the summer transfer market in 2025. The Swedish striker has had 2 very hot seasons for Sporting Lisbon and has been sought after by a series of big teams, especially clubs without a striker such as Manchester United or Arsenal.

However, after the talks with Man United were fruitless, Viktor Gyokeres seems to have chosen a new destination from the 2025-2026 season. Arsenal are emerging as the perfect destination, able to meet all the requirements of the 27-year-old striker at the moment. Since the start of the summer transfer window, The Gunners have been on the sidelines and as soon as Man United were exhausted in the race, they stepped in and made a huge change.

If he talks to Arsenal right now, Gyokeres could be given a 5-year contract, which means that if he completes his journey at the Emirates, Gyokeres will end his peak career.

Since March 2025, the "Gunners" have signaled Viktor Gyokeres for a perfect deal for both sides. Sporting director Andrea Berta has been the most positive person since his appointment not long ago. If the recent rumors about Arsenal's transfers are true (there was Martin Zubimendi), Berta's mark is huge, causing London fans to forget Edu.

Last month, Sporting president Frederico Varandas confirmed that the club had not yet received any offers for the brightest star. Varandas added that his team will not easily let media scandals make them falter in any negotiations, as speculation about the future of the Swedish striker continues.

In parallel with approaching Viktor Gyokeres, Arsenal are also closely following Benjamin Sesko. The 22-year-old striker signed a five-year extension with RB Leipzig last summer. However, Leipzig's failure to play in the Champions League next season will make Sesko hesitant if he wants to find a top destination to play on the biggest stages.

If they have Gyokeres, Arsenal will have the striker who has scored 68 goals in the Primeira Liga in 2 seasons, more than double of any other striker in the Portuguese league at the same time. Gyokeres has speed, fitness and decisiveness, which not all Arsenal's current strikers can have at the same time.

In the past, Gyokeres has not been successful for Brighton. Therefore, he is still suspected of not being able to adapt to the Premier League environment. At the age of 27, if he returns to his old place and fails this time, the Swedish star may not have a chance to start a new opportunity. Therefore, this is a gamble for both sides if it happens.

The only remaining problem for Gyokeres to arrive at the Emirates is the price. Sporting hopes for a "not too far" figure of 100 million Euros, but Arsenal will find it difficult to pay more than 70 million Euros. With Gyokeres no longer in love with Sporting, Arsenal have the advantage to negotiate the number they want.
