Arsenal seems to be close to recruiting their favorite attack targets this summer, when advanced negotiations are taking place to sign a contract with Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon.
After evaluating many strikers, the Gunners are said to have gathered all the attention of the Swedish player, deceiving the previous target, Benjamin Sesko to the side trying to strengthen a quality attack star.

“I followed the transfer market and saw Martin Zubimendi, a six -month -old Viktor, left for 65 million euros. Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo were also negotiated at about 70 million. Viktor is no less than them, even more quality. I will not say how much is the price, players know my value. Surely he will not leave, ”the head of the Portuguese team added.
