Arsenal have had a slow start to the transfer window but things will heat up soon, with the signing of Riccardo Calafiori set to be finalised imminently.
The Bologna centre-back will be Mikel Arteta’s second signing of the summer after David Raya and reports suggest that the manager’s next priority is a new striker.
Eddie Nketiah looks likely to leave the Emirates this summer amid interest from Marseille. However, contrary to reports.
Premier League clubs are also interested in Nketiah and Arsenal are already planning for his departure, with several exciting striker targets on their shortlist.
One player who has been linked with a move to the Gunners for some time is Sporting CP star Viktor Gyokeres, who has been simply sensational since leaving Coventry City for Portugal last summer.
The Swedish international has bagged 43 goals in 50 appearances for Sporting and is considered one of the most in-demand strikers in Europe.
Gyokeres has an £86m release clause in his contract and Arsenal want to ease some ‘doubts’ before deciding whether to bid for him, per reports.
