Arsenal are reportedly on the verge of securing a major summer signing, with Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres set to undergo a medical in Singapore ahead of a potential move to North London.
The Swedish forward, who has been in scintillating form for Sporting, has emerged as a top target for Mikel Arteta as the Gunners look to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season.
Why Gyokeres is a Priority for Arsenal
Gyokeres enjoyed a sensational campaign in Portugal last season, netting 29 goals in 33 league appearances. His physicality, clinical finishing, and ability to link play make him an ideal fit for Arteta's system.
With Arsenal needing more firepower to challenge Manchester City, the 26-year-old could be the missing piece in their title push.
Medical Details and Transfer Fee
Reports suggest Gyokeres will undergo medical tests in Singapore, where Sporting are currently on a pre-season tour. The transfer fee is believed to be in the region of £60 million, potentially rising with add-ons.
If completed, this would be Arsenal's second major signing of the summer after the arrival of Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna.
What This Means for Arsenal's Attack
Gyokeres' arrival could see Eddie Nketiah depart, while Gabriel Jesus may face increased competition for the central striker role. The Swede's versatility also allows him to operate on the left flank if needed.
With pre-season preparations underway, Arsenal fans will be eager to see their potential new star in action soon.
