ARSENAL TARGET VIKTOR GYOKERES IN STRIKER SEARCH, WITH SPORTING CP STAR NOW PREFERRED OVER NEWCASTLE'S ALEXANDER ISAK

Arsenal have identified Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyökeres as a potential signing in their quest for a new striker, with the Swedish forward emerging as an alternative to Newcastle’s Alexander Isak.

Why Arsenal Want Gyökeres

⚽ Prolific Goal Scorer – The 25-year-old has been in sensational form for Sporting, racking up goals and assists in Portugal.

🔄 Alternative to Isak – With Newcastle demanding a hefty fee for Isak, Arsenal see Gyökeres as a more affordable but equally dangerous option.

🔥 Premier League-Ready? – Having played for Coventry City in the Championship, Gyökeres has experience in English football and could adapt quickly.

Key Factors in the Transfer Race

💰 Sporting’s Asking Price – The Portuguese side reportedly want €100m (£85m) due to his release clause.

🔄 Competition from Other Clubs – Several European heavyweights, including Chelsea and PSG, are also monitoring his situation.

📊 Arsenal’s Transfer Budget – The Gunners are weighing up their spending, with midfield and defensive reinforcements also on the agenda.

What’s Next?

Arsenal must decide whether to trigger Gyökeres' release clause or negotiate a lower fee. Meanwhile, their interest in Isak remains, though Newcastle’s stance may force them to look elsewhere.
