English Premier League top side Arsenal are in talks to sign Sweden and Sporting’s prolific Sweden striker Viktor Gyokeres. According to reports the London club has prepared a £70m bid for the attacker. Arsenal have had a clear focus on completing a deal for the 27-year-old in recent days and the club are now advancing in their pursuit of the forward.
Discussions over personal terms for Gyokeres and with the Lisbon club over a transfer fee are accelerating, with Arsenal’s sporting director Andrea Berta leading negotiations. A deal has not been finalised yet, and there remains a degree of caution at Arsenal until agreements are reached.
Viktor Gyokeres has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League after scoring 97 goals in 102 matches during two seasons in Portugal. Many says Arsenal movement towards a deal for Gyokeres represents a significant development in Arsenal’s summer transfer business.
It appears Viktor Gyokeres will be the man Mikel Arteta will rely on to make the difference next season. If Gyokeres arrives, they will solve their attacking challenges. The obvious question is how that goalscoring ability translate into the Premier League.
