Arsenal told potential £85M signing ‘is ready for Premier League’ move

Anders Limpar has told the likes of Arsenal that Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres has the ability to cope with the pressures of playing in the Premier League and believes that it is the next step for the big striker

Swede Gyokeres has been a major hit in Portugal since joining Sporting from Coventry in July 2023 and become one of the most dangerous strikers in World football, hitting 43 goals for the club last season.

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.

Gyokeres is one of a number of Sporting CP players who could leave the Portuguese club in the wake of Ruben Amorim’s departure, with Arsenal likely to chase the former Coventry striker once again.

And former Arsenal and Sweden midfielder Limpar hopes to see his fellow countryman playing for the Gunners and is confident Gyokeres could make the transition into Premier League football based on his recent heroics against Manchester City and his previous spell with Coventry City.

He added: ‘We have to remember that the Portuguese league is inferior to the Premier League, but when Manchester City came to visit Lisbon, he scored a hat-trick, so he’s fully capable of scoring in England.

‘He has played for Coventry and scored goals, he knows the English mentality.

‘I think his next step is to play in the Premier League and he can really choose which team he wants to play in.’

Is Gyokeres heading to Arsenal?

If he wants to leave Sporting, Arsenal are the right club to make a move too right now as they are surely the team that will take the title away from Man City this season. But maybe the January window is too early.

It is always a risk to sign big players midway through the season and that is why Mikel Arteta will probably wait until the summer to add a new forward to his attack, but Gyokeres would more than be open for a move to the Emirates.
