Arsenal ‘actively’ interested in signing 43-goal star by end of window!

It has been claimed that Arsenal are actively interested in a deal for Sporting Lisbon striker Victor Gyokeres.

The Gunners have been linked throughout the summer with the striker as they seek to bolster that front line over the next few months – and Gyokeres 43 goal season last year has got many clubs interested in a potential deal.

There has been so many rumours and speculation regarding the future of Gyokeres – but the latest reports suggest that Arsenal are leading the chase to sign the big man and are even getting closer to a possible deal for the forward.

Portuguese Outlet Leonino recently claimed that ARSENAL have agreed to pay £86 million and bring Gyokeres to the club in order to solve their striker issues for the upcoming season, although those reports have not been verified.

As per Italian outlet, Corriere dello Sport, Arsenal are ‘very active’ on Gyokeres and are ready to make a move for the striker – although not for the kind of money that has been talked about.

Former Portugal midfielder Pedro Mendes recently claimed that Gyokeres could be a great signing for Arsenal – Mendes, speaking to BoyleSports who offer the latest Premier League betting, said:“Viktor Gyokeres has been one of the most successful signings in the Portuguese league and what he achieved in scoring 43 goals and winning the title with Sporting is incredible.

“Ruben Amorin has said there is no chance he will leave but if someone pays the buy-out clause then they won’t have a choice. He is powerful, runs into the channels, fights with defenders and he would be very difficult to replace for Sporting.

“In the Premier League, he would be the typical striker and would do very well. If you look at football these days, he is a young player and scored 29 goals in Portugal last season, £86 million would be a fair price for Arsenal to pay.

“He is different from the strikers ARSENAL has at the moment with different style of play so his success would depend on how they want to play. If they change their system to suit a striker then he is the perfect choice.”
