Arsenal might rue their decision not to sign Viktor Gyokeres during the summer transfer window.
Fabrizio Romano claimed that the Gunners deemed Gyokeres to be “too expensive” due to his £86m release clause, telling Men in Blazers: “Arsenal could add another offensive player. I don’t think it will be an expensive player like Viktor Gyokeres. I think this is too expensive, but maybe a new winger, a different type of player who can provide fresh energy behind Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka.”
The Italian was eventually spot on, as Raheem Sterling arrived on loan from Chelsea.
Gyokeres has started the 2024/25 campaign on fire, remarkably scoring seven goals and providing three assists in just five appearances for Sporting CP.
The Sporting CP No.9 has also just scored three goals and assisted another two in two UEFA Nations League outings for Sweden – meaning he has ten goals and five assists in just seven games so far this season.
