Arsenal develops a strong interest in Viktor’s Gyoker while considering the striker’s options
Arsenal is developing a strong interest in showing off CP Viktor Gyokooes as they consider their options to recruit a striker this summer.
Gyokooes has long been admired by the new sports director of Arsenal Andrea Berta – whose appointment was confirmed on Sunday – And it is expected that it appears prominently among those that the club take the signature into the transfer window.
The Manager of Arsenal Mikel Arte is a big fan of Alexander IsaacHowever, the Newcastle United has no intention of letting their stellar player leave the St James park and probably would take a huge commission to consider even his departure.
Arsenal has also worked a lot on RB Leipzig Benjamin SeskoWhich could prove to be a cheaper solution, but it is not clear if they proceed with a move and the 21 -year -old Slovenia International has several pretenders.
Gyokker is, therefore, now a more important candidate than he could have been in the past.
The Sweden International, 26 years old, has become one of the most prolific attackers in Europe since he moved to Portugal from Coventry City in 2023.
Gyokooes recorded 85 goals and 26 assists in 92 sports games, helping them to raise Liga Primeira last year. In the championship this season, he scored 30 goals in 26 appearances.

The strengthening in advance is a priority for Arsenal after the end of the season wounds in Kai Haverz and Gabriel Jesus left Arte without the recognized center-ignition. Midfielder Mikel Merino recently played there on an emergency basis.
An approach to the Ollie Watkins of the Aston Villa during the winter market proved without success, while Arsenal discussed the AC Milan Alvaro Morata loan before joining Galatasaray.

What do I have to know about the Gycheri?

Like Luca Toni, Chris Wood and Larry David, Gyokers blossomed a little later in his career compared to most.
Why did it take a few years to be compared to Erling Haaland, or to be spoken as a candidate to beat the goal of goal goals by Lionel Messi?
Well, mainly because the Gyker, similar to Harry Kane, need to work hard to improve his game along a career path that led him from Brommapojkarna to Sweden to Sport in Portugal, through periods to Brighton & Hove Albion, Swansea City and Coventry City.
It is quite fast but not particularly quick, its technique is good but it is not particularly skilled. What has – again, like Kane – is an infallible desire to improve and mark objectives.
The coaches will talk to you about a character who could be grumpy or stubborn, but also of someone who needed faith shown in him.
Ever since he became a main central striker for the first time in Coventry City (having found his path blocked in Brighton and Hove Albion where he was often wide shunding) has thrived. From the space and a half chance of shooting and the probability are, the ball will soon be on the back of the net.
But the attackers Carlos Vinicius, the Islam Slimani and, to a certain extent, Darwin Nunez fought to transfer their form of Liga Primeira to Portugal in the Premier League. Are Gyoker different? His hat -trick against Manchester City in the Champions League suggests.
