Viktor Gyokeres Finally Breaks Silence on Arsenal Transfer Links in Telling Interview

  • Viktor Gyokeres, a 26-year-old striker for Sporting CP, has been linked with a potential transfer to Arsenal following his impactful 2024/25 season in Portugal.
  • Arsenal's need for a prolific goalscorer, compounded by injuries to key forwards, led the club to pursue Gyokeres as a top target, with transfer talks expected after the Premier League season ended.
  • Sporting secured a domestic double with Gyokeres scoring a critical late penalty in the Portuguese Cup final, finishing with 54 goals and 13 assists across 52 appearances last season.
  • Reports claim Arsenal have lodged a formal offer near £62 million for Gyokeres, proposing a five-year contract with an annual salary around £5.8 million, though Gyokeres remains focused on Sporting until summer.
  • If completed, this signing would supply Arsenal with much-needed attacking firepower for the 2025/26 season, though shirt number preferences remain unresolved amid a competitive market including Liverpool and PSG.
