Arsenal told to SIGN ‘Amazing’ £85 million goal-machine
Former Gunners star Bacary Sagna is the latest name to suggest that ARSENAL should make sure that they sign Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres in the coming transfer windows.
The Swede, who scored 29 goals in his maiden season, has already notched up 11 in just eight games so far this campaign and Sagna believes the 26-year-old could offer Arteta a different profile to his attacking options.
He was a player that ARSENAL were very heavily linked with signing during the summer window, but his massive asking price was a real problem for the Gunners, and in the end, the decision was not made to make a move for the striker.
‘I’d like to see Arsenal go for Viktor Gyokeres – he’s amazing. He’s a pure striker who would offer some depth to Arsenal,’ the Frenchman told Metro.
‘He’s also quite tall so whenever the team are out wide, they can cross the ball a bit more and that’s been missing a bit for me.
‘They need to find a solution in and around the box but sometimes you just need to put it in the box. He’ll help them be dangerous from crosses and set pieces and in open play, he’s clinical and something different.
‘I trust Gabriel Jesus and I like his work ethic, but you need a bit of everything if you want to be able to compete. You almost need two competitive teams in the squad because there are so many games a season.’
Gyokeres has a €100m (£85m) release clause in his contract and, speaking last month, Sporting president Frederico Varandas insisted any interested club would have to hit that fee to sign the talisman.

Look, Gyokeres is a quality striker that could have been a great signing for ARSENAL – he will come at a risk for many clubs as the Premier League is alot better than the Portuguese League.
But with the new financial rules – it will be interesting to see if clubs are willing to pay that big money for the player in the coming transfer windows as he does have the potential to go on and become one of the best strikers in the game.
