Arsenal star speaks on qualities of in-demand £85M Arsenal target

ARSENAL star David Raya has been speaking on the quality of Viktor Gyokeres, as the Premier League giants prepare to face the striker in the Champions League this week,

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.

But 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.

Gyokeres has already put Manchester City to the sword this season with a fantastic display in Sporting’s recent 4-1 win over Pep Guardiola’s side, so it’s wise that Raya is clearly not taking this opponent lightly.

“We know his strengths, how he runs a lot in behind and scores a lot in one-v-one and he is a top player in form,” Raya said in a press conference, as quoted by the Metro.

“We are going to try and keep him very, very quiet. Don’t give him any chances. We have to step up defensively. Hopefully we can do a great job and keep a clean sheet.”

ARSENAL will geta  first hand look at why Gyokeres is so in-demand right now, why he is a striker that could make the move to the Emirates, he will cause that Gunners defence some issues.

Mikel Arteta knows adding a striker like Gyokeres to the side could bring that Premier League title back to the club, but right now, keeping him quiet is the most important thing for the result.
