Gyokeres rejects three rival offers with focus on Arsenal | OneFootball

Viktor Gyokeres is not entertaining offers from other clubs with the forward focused on a transfer to Arsenal.

Gyokeres has agreed personal terms with Arsenal, who are locked in negotiations with Sporting Lisbon to sign the striker.

The Sweden international has told Sporting that he has no plans to return for pre-season with the 27-year-old keen to quit the Portuguese champions.

Arsenal are prepared to pay around €70m (£60.4m) for Gyokeres, with Sporting holding out for closer to €80m (£69m).

Despite the distance in valuation, Gyokeres’ desire to move to Arsenal means the Gunners remain in strong position to conclude the deal.

Arsenal have targeted Gyokeres as the North Londoners look to sign an out-and-out centre-forward. Injuries to Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus impacted their chances of a title challenge last season and Gyokeres has emerged as the top target.

The forward has scored 97 goals in 102 games since joining Sporting from Coventry City in 2023.

Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Gyokeres is not entertaining offers from other clubs as things stand.

Saudi Pro League sides are monitoring the situation closely, while Portuguese outlet Record have claimed Gyokeres has rejected three proposals from Manchester United. Ruben Amorim has been linked with reuniting with Gyokeres, having worked with the player at Sporting.

Arsenal are expected to conclude the signing of Noni Madueke from Chelsea in the coming days and also retain interest in Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze.

Mikel Arteta has already completed the signing of three senior players, with Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard all arriving at the Emirates this summer.
