🚨 BREAKING: Viktor Gyökeres Open to Arsenal Move as Priority Club This Summer
Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres has reportedly opened the door to a summer move to Arsenal, making the North London club his top priority. The 26-year-old Swedish international has become one of Europe’s hottest properties following a phenomenal debut season in Portugal, and Arsenal are pushing to secure his signature.
The Gunners have already held negotiations with RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Šeško, but they’ve also made contact with Gyökeres and his representatives in recent weeks. While no final decision has been made, the Swedish star is believed to favour a move to the Emirates over other destinations.
Manchester United remain in the background, keeping a close eye on the situation. Should Arsenal’s deal fall through, United are expected to accelerate their interest. However, the feeling within both camps is that Gyökeres has made his preference clear.
Viktor Gyökeres’ Goal & Assist Stats: Elite Numbers in Europe
Viktor Gyökeres enjoyed a sensational 2024/25 campaign with Sporting CP, finishing with 43 goals and 15 assists in 50 appearances across all competitions. His 29 goals and 9 assists in the Primeira Liga alone made him the league’s standout attacker.
The Swedish forward's ability to score in a variety of ways—left foot, right foot, headers, and penalties—combined with his intelligent link-up play and high defensive work rate, has made him one of Europe’s most complete strikers. His contribution goes beyond goals, often dropping deep to create space or provide assists in key moments.
💰 Viktor Gyökeres’ Price Tag: Arsenal Face €100M Decision
Gyökeres is protected by a €100 million release clause in his Sporting contract, a figure Arsenal may need to match or negotiate around to get the deal done. Sporting are in a strong financial position and under no pressure to sell unless their demands are met.
While the price is steep, Arsenal are believed to be weighing the cost against Gyökeres’ potential impact. With Champions League football and a Premier League title push on the horizon, the Gunners may see the investment as one worth making to finally bring silverware back to the Emirates.
