A lot would have to change in Viktor Gyökeres's future for him not to go to the Premier League. The Swedish forward has had his best season. Let's remember that Sporting Portugal's player has scored 52 goals and made 13 assists in 50 official matches.
With a value of 75 million euros, Viktor Gyökeres is the most sought-after center forward in Europe. Many clubs are after him to sign him and solve their scoring problems. The striker is synonymous with goals.
Mikel Arteta's Arsenal, the chosen one
From London, it's said that talks are very advanced on both sides. Arsenal and Viktor Gyökeres, barring a miracle, will be real this upcoming transfer market. A natural goal scorer like the Swede is what Mikel Arteta's Arsenal needed.
It has become clear that experiments with a "false 9" can work temporarily, but not for competing for titles. It's said that the English giant will pay 71 million euros for the transfer of the former Coventry City player.
Viktor Gyökeres would represent an exciting vision for Mikel Arteta's team next season. The Nordic player combines strength, goals, agility, and power.
Sporting Portugal has already accepted it
From Lisbon, it's already assumed that this will be Viktor Gyökeres's last season in the Portuguese country. From José Alvalade, they are already studying possible replacements for their current star, who will pack his bags for London.
Despite everything, Viktor Gyökeres is very loved in Lisbon. He has been and still is the star of Sporting Portugal, and the fans have always been very affectionate with the forward. There is a sense of empathy from the leões, who understand the interest in their most significant figure.
Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta, who is already rubbing his hands with the possible new striker, wants to build a top project. The coach wants to make a statement in European competitions and create a fearsome trident.
The idea of having Gabriel Martinelli on the left, Viktor Gyökeres as the "9," and Bukayo Saka on the right. This is a dream for the Gunners that will possibly come true. Arsenal would seek to make a quality leap to a squad with a lot of potential.
It should be mentioned that, this season, the North London club has scored 66 goals in the league. The goal scorers are many, considering that the top scorer is Kai Havertz, with 9 goals. Followed by Martinelli or Trossard, with 8, and Mikel Merino, with 7 goals scored.
