Arsenal are reportedly setting their sights on Sporting CP's prolific striker Viktor Gyokeres, as uncertainty looms over William Saliba's future at the Emirates.
Gyokeres on Arsenal's Radar
The Swedish forward has been in scintillating form for Sporting CP, attracting interest from several top European clubs. Arsenal, eager to bolster their attacking options, are now weighing up a move for the 26-year-old.
Gyokeres has been a revelation since joining Sporting from Coventry City last summer, netting an impressive 29 goals in all competitions. His physicality and clinical finishing have made him one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe.
Saliba's Contract Standoff
Meanwhile, William Saliba's contract negotiations with Arsenal have hit a stumbling block. The French defender, who has been a cornerstone of Mikel Arteta's defence, has just two years left on his current deal.
Despite being a key player for the Gunners, talks over an extension have reportedly stalled, raising questions about his long-term future at the club. Arsenal are keen to avoid a repeat of previous contract sagas that saw them lose key players on free transfers.
Summer Transfer Plans
With the summer transfer window approaching, Arsenal are expected to be active in the market. Securing Gyokeres' signature could provide the firepower needed to mount another Premier League title challenge, while resolving Saliba's contract situation remains a priority.
Arteta and sporting director Edu Gaspar face a crucial few months as they look to strengthen the squad while retaining their star players.
