Football pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher have sparked a heated debate over Arsenal's potential pursuit of Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres this summer.
The former Manchester United defender and Liverpool legend disagreed sharply on whether the Gunners should splash out a reported £85 million for the Swedish international.
Neville's Warning to Arsenal
Neville expressed skepticism about the proposed transfer, stating: "When I look at Gyokeres, I see a good player but not someone who transforms Arsenal into title winners. They need someone truly world-class to take that next step."
The Sky Sports pundit suggested Arsenal might be better served by pursuing more proven talent at the highest level.
Carragher's Counterargument
Carragher took the opposite view, arguing: "Gyokeres has everything Arsenal need - physical presence, goalscoring instinct, and the ability to link play. His numbers in Portugal are outstanding."
The former Liverpool defender pointed to Gyokeres' 43 goals in all competitions last season as evidence of his quality.
The Big Money Question
The debate centers on whether Gyokeres represents value at his reported price tag, which would make him one of Arsenal's most expensive signings ever.
With Manchester City and Chelsea also reportedly monitoring the situation, Arsenal may need to act quickly if they want to secure their prime striking target.
