Arsenal are leading the race for Sporting CP goal machine Viktor Gyokeres and a fresh report from Portugal suggests they are close to getting a deal done.
He joined Sporting from Coventry City for around £20m last summer and he’s been banging in goals for fun ever since – netting 43 times in 50 matches in 2023/24.
Gyokeres’ performances have caught the attention of several top sides, including Liverpool, but Arsenal are considered the frontrunners.
It’s recently been suggested that the Gunners could bid for him as soon as this week.
The Swedish international will not be a cheap addition, however, given he has an £86m release clause in his contract that Sporting are reluctant to budge on.
But according to Portuguese outlet Record, the club have just dropped a major hint that they could sell Gyokeres this summer by re-negotiating Coventry’s sell-on clause in the player’s contract.
