Gunners ramp up pursuit of Sporting CP’s goal machine as summer transfer battle heats up
Arsenal have taken a decisive step in their hunt for elite striker Viktor Gyokeres, presenting the Swedish sensation with a substantial five-year contract offer ahead of what promises to be a heated transfer battle this summer.
Gunners Go All-In for Their Top Target
According to transfer expert Nicolo Schira, Arsenal have tabled a contract that would keep Gyokeres at the Emirates until 2030, with negotiations now advancing between club officials and the player’s representatives. The move comes after the 26-year-old completed his domestic duties with Sporting CP, where he’s become one of Europe’s most prolific forwards.
Release Clause Sets the Price Tag
Sporting are prepared to part with their star man if his €65 million (£55m) release clause is met – a figure that represents strong value for a striker coming off back-to-back sensational seasons. Since arriving from Coventry City in 2023, Gyokeres has delivered an astonishing 97 goals in just 102 appearances, establishing himself as Portugal’s most feared marksman.
Arteta’s Missing Piece?
Mikel Arteta sees the Swedish international as the final piece in Arsenal’s title-chasing puzzle, with the club determined to avoid another near-miss after finishing second in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons. Gyokeres’ physicality, clinical finishing, and proven goal record make him an ideal candidate to lead Arsenal’s frontline.
While Gyokeres still has three years remaining on his Sporting contract, the player’s Estimated Transfer Value has soared to €75m following his record-breaking campaign. With the Portuguese Cup final now behind him, all signs point toward an imminent transfer saga that could reshape Arsenal’s attacking options for years to come.
The coming weeks will reveal whether Arsenal’s bold move can pry away one of Europe’s most in-form strikers from his Portuguese adventure.
