The Gunners will aim to pip Manchester City for the Premier League crown again this season but would need a proven goalscorer who can hit the ground running in the English top flight.
The North London giants have been linked with several strikers this summer and are now well-positioned to lure Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting Lisbon this season. Gyökeres has quickly established himself as one of the sought-after goalscorers in Europe after registering 43 goals in 50 games for the Portuguese giants last season.
Arsenal favorites to land Viktor Gyökeres this summer
The Gunners have been heavily linked with a move for the Swedish striker who can transform Arsenal in the final third if he joins the Emirates this summer. The 26-year-old has an £86 million release clause in his contract with Sporting Lisbon.
The Swedish is unlikely to become a cheap acquisition for Arsenal. Still, according to HITC, the Portuguese outfit would be willing to accept offers below their release clause to sanction a move this summer.
Arsenal reportedly value the Swedish forward at £52 million and it would be interesting to see if the North London giants are ready to break the bank for the talented striker.
The club definitely needs a world-class striker after Gabriel Jesus endured a disappointing 2023/24 campaign where he scored only four goals in the league.
