Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio gives update on Arsenal target Viktor Gyokeres

Gyokeres could be a great option for Mikel Arteta ahead of the new season.

Viktor Gyokeres is currently the prime target for Arsenal. The Gunners will push for him in the upcoming summer transfer window. The Swedish striker has been in exceptional form this season for Sporting Club.

He earlier played for Coventry in the Championship, and his impressive performances have vindicated that decision. He is becoming the best player.

The North London club desperately need a striker. They have options like Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen. Gyokeres could be a great option for Mikel Arteta ahead of the new season.

Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has discussed Arsenal’s interest in the Sweden international. He told Fotboll Direkt: “They don’t want to pay so much for him. Only the Premier League clubs can afford him.

“Chelsea and Arsenal can afford him and Arsenal want him because they need a striker.

“When players do so well in Portugal, the clubs there want to sell the players. They understand when the time is right. For Gyokeres, it is also the right time to leave and give England another chance after the move from Coventry.”
